THE CORRESPONDING SOCIETIES COMMITTEE OF THE 
BRITISH ASSOCIATION, DUNDEE, igi2. 
REPORT OF THE CLUB'S DELEG ALES. 
For the meeting at Dundee the Club appointed as delegates Mr. W. 
Whitaker, F.R.S., and Mr. Joseph Wilson, F.R.M.S. The following is 
Mr. Wilson’s report:— 
The delegates from the various Corresponding Societies held their 
annual conference in the Technical Institute, under the presidency of 
Professor F. O. Bower, F.R.S., on September 5th and September 10th 
respectively. 
Following the Chairman’s address on the Life and Work of Sir J. D. 
Hooker, Miss A. Lorrain Smith submitted a brief report on a circular 
issued by the British Mycological Society, respecting certain diseases 
occasioned by fungi, asking that observations be made thereon, such as 
the disease among plum trees, known as Silver-leaf , and the injury occa¬ 
sioned by the Polyporacece. 
The response to this circular was not very encouraging, as only four 
societies replied to it. 
Dr. Wager, of Sheffield, suggested the desirability of the local so¬ 
cieties helping the British Mycological Society in collecting information 
respecting fungi, and he thought something definite would be accomplished 
if the Silver-leaf , the Gooseberry-mildew or one or two other fungoid diseases 
were thoroughly investigated and the results published. 
Mr. A. R. Horwood, of Leicester, submitted a preliminary report on the 
protection and preservation of our native wild plants, and suggested 
that the local societies could do much to further this object. 
At the second meeting of the conference Professor Bower was again 
Chairman.
