Letter from [William Turner] Thiselton-Dyer, Royal Gardens, Kew, to the Royal Society Thiselton-Dyer has decided not to summon the Sectional Commitee for Botany until most members are free from their summer engagements. Refers to the only business currently presented to the committee is an application for a grant from the Linnean Society in order to publish Mr Ball's paper concerning the 'Distribution of plants on the south side of the Alps'. Thiselton-Dyer suggests that the Council should 'remit to the various sectional committees the consideration of the form in which communications should be made to the Society'. 3 June 1896
