Mr. J. Tennant brought before the notice of the Institute a MS. catalogue, shortly to be printed, of the indigenous flowering-plants found within a radius of twenty-five miles of Dunedin. The catalogue had been prepared by the members of the Naturalists' Field Club, and was founded upon a similar list prepared and printed several years ago by the former Field Club.

In the ensuing discussion it was suggested that the area included in the operations of the club should be carefully defined, and that a radius of twenty-five miles was probably too wide.
