Bulletin 2 



Arrangements — The chairman, Mr. Knight, gave a short 

 outline of the proposed excursions that had been planned for 

 the Society during its stay on Mt. Desert, including trips to 

 the Cranberry Islands, to Sea Wall, and to Sargent Moun- 

 tain, weather permitting. 



Plant Distribution — Mr. Knight made an informal report 

 for the committee, stating that there was a manuscript list of 

 the flora of Maine in his possession, which comprised all the

 lections that he had seen. This, he said, could be issued at 

 short notice. 



Plant [.ore — No report.

Alga? — No report. 



Fungi — In the absence of the chairman, the report ap- 

 pended herewith was read by Mr. Chamberlain.

 bally that it had not seemed possible to take any definite 

 steps as yet towards the publication of a revised list of Maine

■Restoration of the Old Records — The chairman, Dr. Fel- 

 lows, reported that a large amount of material had been col- 

 lected, but that the committee would prefer to have more time
