President, Dr. H. F. Perkins, Burlington. 

 Vice-President, Dr. Anne Perkins, Collins, N. Y. 

 Secretary-Treasurer, Mrs. Nellie F. Flynn, Burlington. 

 Editor, George L. Kirk, Rutland. 

 The report of the treasurer was read and approved. It was voted 

 that the summer meeting of 1923 be held at Bread Loaf Inn, Ripton, 

 and at Middlebury, assembling, probably, June 29, and that an invita- 

 tion be extended to the National Ornithological Club and the Brookline 

 Bird Club of Massachusetts to meet with the Vermont Clubs. 



Mrs. Davenport and Dr. Burns voiced the enthusiastic apprecia- 

 tion of Dr. Brainerd's work on "The Violets of North America" and its 

 free distribution by the State Agricultural College of the University 

 of Vermont. 



The following papers were read: "Plants of My European Trip," 

 Mrs. Nellie F. Flynn; "Notes on Plants at Collins, N. Y.," Dr. Anne 

 Perkins. Others were read by title, some coming too late to be given 

 before the meeting. All of these will appear in the Bulletin.
