Dr. Dodge, as representative of the Club on the Council of 

 the New York Academy of Sciences, reported that he had at- 

 tended the meetings and represented the interests of the Club 

 there. 



No report was made by the delegates to the American As- 

 sociation for the Advancement of Science, as neither of these

Dr. Hazen reported that he had attended the meetings of the 

 Board of Managers of the New York Botanical Garden as rep- 

 resentative of the Club. 



It was moved by Dr. Karling and seconded by Dr. Harper 

 that a committee be appointed to consider the creation of two 

 new officers in the Club to share the duties now delegated to the 

 secretary, namely, a corresponding secretary and a recording 

 secretary; and to consider the creation of new classes of mem- 

 bership. It was moved by Dr. Matzke and approved by the 

 Club that Mrs. Marvin be designated Assistant Treasurer of the 

 Torrey Botanical Club. 



The report of the meeting of the Council of December 18,

It was then unanimously voted that the secretary be in- 

 structed to cast one ballot for this entire group of nominations. 



The complete list of new officers is printed on the inside 

 front cover of this issue. 



It was voted to extend a rising vote of thanks to Dr. Hazen, 

 Mrs. Harper, and Dr. McLean for their services to the Club. 



It was voted that the Secretary write to our Associate Edi- 

 tor, Mr. G. T. Hastings, thanking him for his annual report and 

 expressing the Club's regret at his illness and hope for a speedy 

 recovery.

 man and Dr. Hitchcock congratulating them as members of the 

 Torrey Botanical Club, on their receipt of a special prize of one 

 thousand dollars for their research work which was reported at
