 valued friend and colleague in his passing and wish to record 

 here their deep appreciation of his great service to plant science 

 and their high personal regard for him as an associate and col- 

 league.

The work of thiscommittee was approved and the memorial 

 accepted by a standing vote. 



The Corresponding Secretary then presented the applica- 

 tions of Sidney S. Greenfield, 325 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, 

 N. Y., C. L. Lundell, Univ. Herbarium, Michigan Univ., Ann 

 Arbor, Mich.; and H.J. Scott, 1110 Hudson St., Hoboken, N. J., 

 for membership. They were unanimously elected. The Corre- 

 sponding Secretary also announced the action of the Council in 

 approving Prof. W'm. L. Bray of Syracuse University for honor- 

 ary life membership, and pointed out that Dr. A. J. Grout had 

 been a member since 1897 and was thus in line for honorary 

 life membership. A motion was unanimously passed electing 

 him to this class and instructing the Corresponding Secretary 

 to inform him of this action. 



The Scientific Program consisted of an address by Dr. H. 

 K. Svenson of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden on the "Spring 

 Flowers of the Cumberland." His colored lantern slides of these 

 flowers were exceptionally good, and the talk stimulated con- 

 siderable discussion of the problems of phylogeny, plant migra- 

 tion, and evolution.
