A lecture on " The Study of Economic Botany and the Professional Openings 

 it offers " was given by Mr. E. White (p. 81). 



Professor Bickerton of New Zealand endorsed in the most emphatic terms 

 all that the lecturer had said on the subject, and it was proposed by Sir Albert 

 Rollit, seconded by Professor Bickerton, and carried unanimously that a 

 memorandum which had been prepared by the Secretary be sent to the Press. 



Sir Albert Rollit, in proposing a vote of thanks to the lecturer, called atten- 

 tion to the great work being done by the Society in the direction of science as 

 applied to Horticulture and Botany, and of the Society's need for a greatly 

 increased Fellowship to help to meet the heavy financial burden which its 

 work now involved (see also Annual Meeting). There was a unanimous expression 

 of opinion at the Meeting which resolved that the Government should afford 

 the Society financial support for its scientific and experimental work, and it 

 was hoped that the Council would lose no time in taking steps to make repre- 

 sentations to the Government in this direction. The vote of thanks to the 

 lecturer was carried with acclamation.
