NOTICE. 
The Council of the Botanical Society of London in 
publishing the First Part of their Proceedings, feel called 
upon to state that they do not consider themselves in any 
degree answerable for the opinions expressed in the Papers ; 
and, at the same time, take this opportunity of inviting 
Communications from Members and others relative to Phy- 
siological and Systematic Botany, and particularly Botanical 
Geography. 
“ The Council moreover trust that each individual Member 
will subscribe for a copy, and will likewise use his endea- 
vours with his friends to do as much as possible in helping 
to defray in this way the expenses attendant on them : 
owing to the low Annual Subscription, and the several 
advantages the Members receive for it, it has not been found 
practicable to present them gratuitously to the Members.”
