THE INDIAN BOTANICAL SOCIETY.

25 and Prof. S. P. Agharkar, Ph.D., of Calcutta University, Vice-Presi- dent. The other officers, holding over from 1921 are : Prof. Shiv Bam Kashyap, M.Sc., of the Government College, Lahore, Secretary- Treasurer, and two Councillors, Prof. Birbal Sahni, D.Sc., of Lucknow University, and the retiring President, Prof. Winfield Dudgeon. Pb.D., of Ewing Christian College, Allahabad.

Fourteen new members were added to the Society by ballot. Since the meeting, four more members have been taken in, bringing the total membership to 139.

The provisional constitution adopted at the time of formation of the Society has proved inadequate, so a committee was appointed to draw up a new constitution, to be submitted at the next meeting.

Finally, it was decided to approach the Editor of the Journal of Indian Botany with the proposal to take over the Journal as the property and official organ of the Society. The Society needs a journal, and as the Journal of Indian Botany is already well started and provides ample facility for botanical publication, it seemed wise to attempt to acquire it.

The next meeting of the Society will be held in Lucknow in connection with the Indian Science Congress, probably in January, 1923.
