Conditions for membership have been fixed so that all who are truly interested in any phase of Botany are eligible. " Membership shall be open to all graduates who are interested in any phase in Botany ; to non-graduates who have pursued advanced studies in Agricultural, Forestry, or other institutions, or who have distinguished themselves in research; and to such others as in the judgement of the Society are worthy of membership." There is no initiation fee. The annual dues have been fixed at Es. 5, or when combined with a subscription to the Journal of Indian Botany, at Rs. 2-8-0. It is hoped in this way to encourage members to give their support to the only strictly botanical Journal in India.
All who join before the meeting of the Science Congress at Calcutta, January 31 to February 5, will be considered as Charter Members. Anyone who is eligible may become a Charter Member by remitting his dues to the Chairman of the Committee of Organization.
The Society will be affiliated with the Indian Science Congress in some way yet to be determined, and during the Calcutta meetings of the Congress the first meetings of the Society will be held.
