He relays a resolution of the Botanical Committee, stating that it would be desirable to have a large botanical garden in the vicinity of London, as mentioned in the Botanical Society's prospectus, but that no opinion can be formed of the best means of achieving this. They point out that there are very few botanists on the list of the Botanical Society and that the Botanical Society's President, Mr. Gray, was inserted without his authority. |
