Journals Nos. 78 and 79 were issued in June and September, 

 and a further number is well ^under weigh. The Council also 

 decided to print Mr. ED. Merrill's paper on Bornean Plants and 

 126 pp of this are now in print, but the delay in sending proofs 

 makes the date of publication problematical. 



The Council records with pleasure that the supply of short 

 articles from members continues, may with illustrations. No. 78 

 contains a useful index of the contents of the Journal from No. 52 

 to 77, thus with No. 51 bringing up the index to date.
