side of the supposition that their distribution occurred chiefly in 

 the same way as that of the animals. He felt sure that the 

 members of the Club would feel greatly indebted to Mr. Reed and 

 would derive great pleasure from an inspection of his very beautiful 

 collection. 



Mr. Reed expressed his indebtedness to Mr. Groves for coming 

 down to the meeting and for the information and hints he had 

 previously given. He regretted, of course, that the collection was 

 not representative, but it must be borne in mind that the object of 

 the trip was mainly mountaineering, and that they were only there 

 for about five weeks ; they could, however, have got more flowers, 

 but their paper gave out, and no more could be pressed ; and, as 

 everyone knew who had made excursions of the kind, however good 

 might be the resolutions made at starting, these were very apt to 

 give out, too, under stress of circumstances. He thanked the 

 members present for the kind attention which they had given to the 

 paper. 



The President said their thanks were heartily due to Mr. Reed 

 for his paper and for bringing this very beautiful collection for 

 their inspection. He hoped that as they had now reached the end 

 of their session and were thinking of holidays some of their 

 members might feel stimulated to follow Mr. Reed's example by 

 collecting or doing something, and giving the Club the benefit of 

 the results when they met again. 



A hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Reed was unanimously carried. 



The proceedings then terminated with the usual conversazione.
