 numbers for the summer's collection. The first ten days of 

 May were spent about Greycliflf, Mont. Then short stops were 

 made at Sidney, Neb., and Medicine Bow, Wyo., on the route 

 to the Stanislaus National Forest, California. From May 19 

 to July 25, the time was spent about Sonora, California. During 

 the first three weeks of August, Mr. Eggleston was in the region 

 stretching from Lake Pend D'Oreille, Idaho, to the British 

 Columbia line. On the return trip to Washington, Dr. Aven 

 Nelson's Rocky Mountain herbarium was visited.

 class of 1913, has been appointed curator of the herbarium of 

 the University of Vermont, succeeding the late C. G. Pringle.

 geographic Excursion, who have been travelling in the United 

 States since the last of July, and who stopped in New York en 

 route home, were Professor Carl Schroter, of Zurich, and Pro-

 Berlin. Professor Schroter delivered a lecture on the flora of 

 the Alps, under the auspices of the department of botany of the 

 Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences and the Brooklyn Botanic

 twenty-five botanists were present.
