Josselyn Botanical Society of Maine. 



Thirteenth Annual Meeting. 



The thirteenth annual meeting of the Society was held 

 at Belmont Lodge, Oxford, Maine, July 1-6, 1907, inclusive, 

 with twelve members present. The following is a detailed 

 report of the meeting, given day by day. The formal min- 

 utes are placed by themselves. 



Dr. Fellows and Mr. Chamberlain arrived June 29th, and 

 spent the days preceding the meeting in a general survey of 

 the region, in consulting maps, and in making the necessary 

 arrangements. On July 1st, they made a trip by team to the 

 village of East Otisfield, ascending the brook from Saturday 

 Pond for a short distance, and returning to Oxford on foot. 

 The region was fruitful in the common woodland plants, but 

 furnished few rarities. In the afternoon, before the arrival 

 of the main party, Dr. Fellows and Mr. Norton explored the 

 ''Spring House Woods" as far as the Little Androscoggin. 

 Habenaria hookeri, Dirca palustris, Stellaria borealis, Equise- 

 tum scirpoidcs, Asploiium tliclyptcroides, and Polygala poly- 

 gama were found in some quantity. The same afternoon, 

 Messrs. Stubbs and Bean, visiting the edge of Thompson 

 Pond near the woolen mill, found Lysimachia thrysiflora. 



At 8.00 P. M., Dr. Fellows called the members to order, 

 and Mr. Chamberlain gave a short outline of the plans pro- 

 posed for the week. These were as follows: July 2, short 

 trips; July 3, an all-day sail on Thompson Pond; July 4, 

 short trips at the wish of the individual members; July 5, an 

 all-day trip to Hebron. At this time there were the follow- 

 ing persons present, members and guests: 



Mrs. M. C. Brainerd, Miss C. C. Brainerd, Miss Louise 

 H. Coburn, Mrs. H. B. Fogler, all of Skowhegan; Mrs. C. E.
