Botanical Section. —At a meeting of the Botanical Section held

the herbarium is so well looked after by the Academy, and the 
meetings of the Botanical Club fill all needs for furthering the study 
of local plants.

Memorial Fund, which now reverts absolutely to the Academy, be 
used for the purchase of botanical specimens, subject to the direction 
of the curators.
