PREFACE. 



The aim of this Bulletin is not to add to the number of 

 struggling botanical journals, but to furnish the members of 

 the Josselyn Botanical Society with accounts of the annual 

 meetings, and to stimulate interest in our local Flora. 



The publishing committee are of a decided opinion that 

 such a Bulletin is not the place for the publication of new- 

 matter, hence only abstracts of papers will be given, and, in 

 case of local lists, all noteworthy species will be fully reported 

 in standard botanical journals. 



One copy of this Bulletin will be sent to every member 

 of the Society. Additional copies can be obtained of Mr. 

 Edward B. Chamberlain, Cumberland Center, Maine, at ten 

 cents each.
