The field committee, through its chairman, Dr. L. Schoeney, 

 reported the success of the plan of printing a single field program 

 in advance for the whole season ; and in view of the difficulty 

 of obtaining guides, made grateful acknowledgment of the aid 

 given by the staff of the New York Botanical Garden. 



The annual election followed. Dr. Britton remarked that 

 under the new duties now to be required of the treasurer, it 

 would be impracticable for Dr. Ferguson to continue to act, and 

 it is important that the treasurer should be one who is conven- 

 ient of access to the editor. On motion of Dr. Britton, seconded 

 by Dr. Underwood, the Club expressed its grateful acknowledg- 

 ments to the treasurer for his fidelity and diligence in discharge 

 of the duties of his office.
