Professor Boecher has been twice to Greenland. First in member of an expedi- 1932 tion to Scoresby Sound In East Greenland; secondly, in 1940, as leader of an expedition to West Greenland. Last year he made A trip to the Andes visiting the botanical research station at EL Someado In the Atoel valley of Argentina and brought back seeds of mountain flora for the cold house.
This month, Professor Borcher will visit Cope Jugen
