PUBLISHER'S NOTES. 
Women of the California Club, of San 
Francisco, are heading a movement to 
have the state appropriate $25,000 for 
the establishment and support of a 
school of forestry in the State Univer- 
sity of California. A bill embodying 
these provisions is to be introduced at 
the present session of the Legislature. 
In the paper on “Extremes in Ceme- 
teries,” by Thomas White, appearing in 
the recently published report of the 
last convention of the Association of 
American Cemetery Superintendents, an 
error occurs, due to a faulty steno- 
grapher’s copy of the paper. In the 
ninth paragraph the expression “wary 
ideas,” should read “wrong ideas.” 
The City of Ann Arbor, Mich., has pre- 
sented to the University of Michigan a 
tract of about seven acres of land to be 
laid out as a botanical garden and ar- 
boretum. The tract includes Felch 
Park and adjacent property. Both 
aquatic and land plants are to be culti- 
vated, and some of the features of the 
work will be as follows : a nursery for 
seedlings ; a collection of economic 
trees and shrubs ; the introduction of 
desirable species; and the demonstration 
of the utility and beauty of our native 
trees and shrubs.
