JOSSELYX BOTANICAL SOCIETY 



I I 



Knight, Portland: Mr. E. B. Chamberlain, Round Pond; 



Mr. C. H. Knowlton, Hingham, Mass. 



The publication of a bulletin was discussed, but such 



publication was not authorized. 



A Committee of Arrangements was chosen, consisting of: 

 Mr. A. H. Norton, ex officio, Dr. D. W. Fellows, Mr. 



G. K. Merrill. 



A vote of thanks was tendered to those who generously 

 contributed to the interest and success of the meetings. 



Friday, August 15. As the field parties returned late the 

 previous day, and the evening had been devoted to the formal 

 program, Friday forenoon was chiefly spent in caring for the 

 specimens collected previously. In the afternoon one party 

 made an excursion to the "Indian Garden" in Warren, a 

 broad, moist tract of alluvium on the St. Georges river, well 

 above the influence of salt water. The other party went to 

 South Thomaston, again visiting Weskeag mill pond, which 

 is a large area of salt marsh, and to Elwell Point. 



The Warren party collected along the road, and at the 

 "Indian Garden", Potamogetan americanus, var. novae boracen- 

 sis> Quercus bico/or, Decodon verticillatus, Elatine americana and 

 Viburnum Oputus. The South Thomaston party returned 

 with Distichlis spicata from the Weskeag marshes, Spartina 

 patens, var. caespifosa, Ammophila arenaria and Euphrasia 

 Randii Farlowii from Elwell Point. 



At the evening meeting, the subject of choosing a place 

 for the next meeting was discussed, the following places 

 being mentioned, viz.: Kennebunkport, Fort Fairfield, Van 

 Bureu, Winthrop. It was voted that the selection of a place, 

 and the date of the meeting, be left with the committee, but 

 it was apparent that the sentiment of the members present 

 was strong in favor of some place in Aroostook County. 



Mr. Lermond then presented the subject of organizing 

 a State Scientific Association. No definite action was taken 

 and the Society adjourned. 



D. W. Fellows, 



Secretary.
