side. James Upton, after a few appropriate remarks, in- 

 troduced the following resolutions, which were unani- 

 mously adopted: — 



Resolved; That we have listened with much satisfac- 

 tion to the course of lectures by Mr. C. M. Tracy, of which 

 the concluding one has been delivered this afternoon, and 

 that the subject has been presented by him with a discrim- 

 ination of thought and felicity of language as to demand 

 some special token of our appreciation ; we therefore ten- 

 der to Mr. Tracy the thanks of this audience for his very 

 successful efforts to interest us in his favorite study, the 

 science of Botany. 



It was then Voted, that a notice of these lectures with 

 a copy of this resolution be communicated at a meeting 

 of the Essex Institute with a request that the same be en- 

 tered upon the records." 



On motion of the Secretary it was Voted: That the 

 above communication be entered upon the records. 



George W. Pousland and J. Vincent Browne Jr., of 

 Salem, were elected Resident Members. 



On motion of C. M. Tracy it was Voted: That the thanks 

 of the Institute be tendered to Charles Davis Esq., Miss
