B. O. Dodge exhibited a few photographs of Gymno sporangium, 

 Sporodinia and Exobasidium which had been taken at Woods 

 Hole by Professor Harper, Professor Hazen, and himself. 



Professor Richards exhibited several beautiful specimens of 

 Bnellia geographica which he and Mrs. Richards had collected 

 at Glacier Park, Montana, during the summer. The gas analyses 

 which he had been making during the summer have not been 

 completed sufficiently to warrant reporting at this time. He also 

 exhibited a large specimen of Calvatia gigantea collected recently 

 in this vicinity. 



Adjournment followed. 



B. O. Dodge, Secretary. 



NEWS ITEMS 



At the St. Louis meeting of the Ecological Society of America 

 The Plant World was taken over by the Society and will be 

 merged with Ecology, a new journal which will be issued as the 

 official organ of the Society. 



Beginning with volume 20 Torreya will be issued bi-monthly. 

 This has been decided because of the greatly increased cost of 

 production. As heretofore its pages will be open to all who have 

 something to say of interest to botany, but if more material is 

 offered for publication than we have room for, preference will be 

 given to members of the Club, and to notes on local botanv.
