SHOBT NOTES. 



Salix reticulata IN Wales. — In the Power collection in the 

 Herbarium of the Holmesdale Natural History Club, Eeigate, an 

 example of S. reticulata exists labelled, " N. Wales. Cader Idris." 

 Botanists visiting that fine mountain, -which rises to 2929 ft., 

 would do well to try and confirm this record, as at present no 

 other exists for Wales ; the Cambrian localities mentioned by Eay 

 for this plant really refer to S. herbacea. — C. E. Salmon. 



International Botanical Congress. — On March 21st a large 

 and representative meeting of British botanists was held at the 

 rooms of the Linnean Society for the purpose of electing officers 

 and a general committee to make arrangements for the Fourth 

 International Congress, which is to be held in London in 1915. 

 Lt.-Col. Prain presided, and the following officers were elected : — 

 Presidents : Prof. F. 0. Bower, Lt.-Col. Prain, and Prof. A. C. 

 Seward. Treasurer : Sir Frank Crisp. Foreign Secretary : Dr. 

 O. Stapf. General Secretary : Dr. A. B. Eendle. A large and 

 influential general committee was formed, which, it is proposed, 

 will meet on May 17th to consider the election of an executive 

 committee and other matters.
