The treasurer, Dr. R. C. Benedict, reported gross receipts of 

 $4848.41, including a balance of $655.16 brought over from 1925. 

 The disbursements in 1926 amounted to $4452.70, leaving a 

 balance of $395.71. 



Dr. T. E. Hazen, Editor of the Bulletin, reported that volume 

 53 comprised 671 pages. This is 118 pages in excess of the num- 

 ber published in the preceding volume. About 190 pages in the 

 current volume and a considerable portion of the illustrations 

 were paid for by the authors. 



The Editor of Torreya, Mr. George T. Hastings, reported the 

 publication of six bimonthly numbers, totaling 126 pages. He 

 spoke of the delay in printing the proceedings of the Club under 

 the present method of waiting for their approval at the next 

 business meeting — sometimes months later. It was therefore 

 voted that the Secretary be authorized to supply the Editor of 

 Torreya with the minutes immediately after each meeting. 



Dr. Michael Levine, the Business Manager, reported an in- 

 come of $139 from advertisers. 



Dr. H. M. Denslow, Honorary Custodian of the local her- 

 barium, was unable to be present, but his written report was read 

 by the Secretary. During the year Mrs. Mitchell has worked 

 chiefly in the Bicknell collection, sorting and recording the 

 monocotyledons, the genus Carex being especially well repre- 

 sented. The accessions for 1926 were 112. 



The reports of Dr. Barnhart, delegate to the Council of the
