Society of Maine to investigate more fully the flora of these pro- 
vinces, which has so much in common! and at the same time such 
marked differences. A society like this, spending a week

would do much in the interests of botanical research for these 
provinces. 
The presence of the members of the Royal Society and its 
branch — the Botanical Club of Canada — in this city in June last 
was another occurrence of interest. The members of the club 
enjoyed an outing in the Park, and other points, and the presence 
of Dr. Jas. Fletcher, Dr. A. H. MacKay and others contributed 
to the success of the meeting.
