Josselyn Botanical Society of Maine. 



Fourteenth Annual Meeting. 



The headquarters of the Society at its fourteenth annual 

 meeting were at the Stanley House, at Manset, on the south 

 shore of Mount Desert Island. The committee were not un- 

 mindful of the fact that Mount Desert had been very thor- 

 oughly explored by botanists, but it was thought that many 

 interesting plants might be seen, and possibly some new spe- 

 cies found. In this the members were not disappointed, as 

 the appended list will show. The arrangements, carefully 

 made by Mr. O. W. Knight, as chairman of the committee, 

 proved to be satisfactory, both as to entertainment and as to 

 plans for excursions. Some of the members arrived on Mon- 

 day, August 3rd, and others on Tuesday, August 4th, in the 

 afternoon. 



The first session was held at the Stanley House, Tuesday, 

 August 4th, at 9 P. M., the President, Dr. Dana W. Fellows, 

 in the chair. Eight members and four guests were present, 

 viz.: Miss Anna Barnes, Houlton; Mr. Edward B. Chamber- 

 lain, Cumberland Center; Miss Louise H. Coburn, Skowhe- 

 gan; Dr. Dana W. Fellows, Portland; Mr. Ora W. Knight, 

 Bangor; Miss Nellie F. Mansfield, Portland; Mr. F. Ser- 

 inghaus. New York City; Mr. Albert R. Stubbs, Portland. 

 The guests: Mr. C. H. Bissell, Southington, Conn.: Miss 

 Lucretia Packard, Houlton; Mrs. Ora W. Knight, Bangor;

 sessions of the meeting. The minutes of the last meeting
