Botanical Section 



The sessions of the Botanical Section have been held monthly since 

 the opening of the season in September. The meetings have been well 

 attended, and have been devoted to examination of specimens collected 

 during the summer and to informal discussion thereon. 



We have thus been enabled to add a creditable number of species new 

 to science and have recorded a comparatively large number of species new 

 to our immediate neighborhood. These additions may be found detailed 

 in the pages of the Bulletin.
