Professor Tracy E. Hazen, editor of the Bulletin, sailed for 

 London on May 30, expecting to spend most of the summer in 

 England and Norway continuing his studies on unicellular algae. 



Dr. Karl Wiegand of Cornell University is spending the sum- 

 mer in Newfoundland with Dr. Farnald, collecting and studying 

 the vegetation. He will not return till late in September. 



Dr. John K. Small returned to the New York Botanical Garden 

 the last of May from his trip across the Gulf States. With Dr. 

 Edgar T. Wherry of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, he 

 travelled seven thousand miles by motor truck. Starting from 

 Cape Sable at the southern tip of Florida the party went up the 

 east coast, across northern Florida and along the Gulf Coast 

 of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas to the Rio Grande 

 at Brownsville. The party ascended the Rio Grande to El 

 Paso, then turned east, returning through the northern parts 

 of the same states already passed through and down the west 

 coast of Florida to the starting point. Several thousand speci- 

 mens were collected and many pictures taken of plants and plant- 

 associations. 



This summer prizes are being offered in a large number of 

 boys' and girls' camps for the best collections of wild flowers. 

 The prizes are known as the Samuel Fessenden Clark prizes, 

 named for Dr. Clark, Professor Emeritus of Natural History 

 at Williams College. The purpose of the prizes is to "inspire 

 young people with a love of the open and an appreciation of 

 the beautiful in nature, to increase their powers of observation 

 and to establish lasting friendships among the flowers that 

 may become a source of pleasure, increasing with the years.
