Chairman’s Report. 
The Report of the Botanical Section is very good. Pro¬ 
gressive work has been carried on with regard to the Herbarium, 
the satisfactory result achieved is principally owing to the constant 
interest and labour of Messrs. Sherring, F.L.S. (the hon. secre¬ 
tary), Swain and Shillitoe. During the Session, from November, 
1912, till April, 1913, inclusive, weekly meetings were held in the 
Society’s Room in the Municipal College, when the Herbarium 
was arranged and classified. 
The following Papers were also read during the Session:— 
Nov. 14 , 1912 . On “ Plant Formation and Plant Association,”
