The report was adopted. Mr. P. G. Morgan (Director of Geological Survey) was elected a member of the council. It was decided to send a congratulatory letter to Mi - . Cheeseman 011 his now work on the flora of New Zealand. A discussion, opened by Dr. Thomson, took place on the subject of the price of the work, and it was resolved that in the opinion of the council not more than one guinea be charged for the work, as otherwise its usefulness to students of botany will bo greatly, lessened. A copy of the resolution is to be forwarded to the Minister of Education.
