During the summers of 1943 4G Miss Elsie Quarterman, of Vanderbilt university, and Miss ' Catherine Keever, graduate stuf- ! dent of Duke university, collect- I ed specimens preparatory to | writing "A Summer Checklist of i the Vascular Plants of the High- | lands Region." This bulletin has | just been published by the | Highlands Museum and Bio- 1 logical Laboratory. It is the sixth i bulletin to be published by that ! agency. A copy of the "Check list'' is being mailed to all mem bers of the corporation. The introduction of the publi cation describes 1 the ecology of the area and lists books helpful to layman in identifying plants of the area. Special acknowledg ments are given to Henry Wright "whose intimate knowl edge of the surrounding coun tryside and interest in local flora have been of great as- 1. sistance", and to Miss Thelma i Howell, resident director of the j laboratory, who "has furnished I unceasing encouragement and aid throughout the entire pro- , ject." The work of the junior inves tigator was aided in part by the 1944 Minnie D. Warren fel (owship, the 1943 Margaret Can Won Howell fellowship, anil the. 1946 Col. and Mrs. John S. Se well fellowship, which was established by Dr. Caryl P Haskins. The senior investigator was aided by the 1!h3-44 Vun derbilt scholarships to the High lands Biological Laboratory and in 1945, by a grant from the Natural 'Science Research fund of Vanderbilt university. The first check list of plants of the area, confined to the ligneous flora, was compiled b> the late Thomas G. Harbison and issued as Publication No. 3 of the Highlands Museum ana Biological Laboratory..

C. Cokei on the tungi of the area, the study represented the finest bo tanical work yet done at the laboratory. The donors of the fellowship funds which support ed the investigation and the members of the corporation whose fees and. gilts made tht publication possible should feel especially proud of their part in supporting this fundamental research, Miss Howell declared Highlands Manor Golf Course Open For Ssason Gordon Otto of Miami, Fla., owner and operator of High lands Manor, has been spend ing the past two weeks here re storing the nine hole golf course on the Manor grounds, Mr. Otto said the course would be open to the Highlands Manor guests, and others desiring to play, for a fifty cents fee, which will be used toward^ the upkeep of the course.
