PROCEEDINGS FOR 1899 LXXV 



be expected, in like mtoner, to trdnsmit the same impetus to as many as 

 possible in their own spheres of action. 



Members and secretaries, while carrying out plans of operation 

 which they may find to be promising of success in their particukr dis- 

 tricts, will report as frequently as convenient to the officer under whom 

 they may be immediately acting. 



Before the end of January, at the latest, reports of the work done 

 within the various provinces during the ye'ar ended December the 31st 

 previous, should be made by the secretaries for the provinces to the 

 general secretary, from which the annual report to the Royal Society 

 shall be principally compiled. By the first of January, therefore, the 

 annual reports of county secretaries and members should be sent in to 

 the secretaries for the provinces. 



To cover the expenses of official printing and postage, a nominal fee 

 of twenty-five cents per annum is expected for membership (or one dol- 

 lar for five years in advance, or five dollars for life membership). Secre- 

 taries for the provinces, when remitting the amount of fees from mem- 

 bers to the general treasurer, are authorized to deduct the necessary 

 expenses for provincial office work, transmitting vouchers for the same 

 with the balance. 



The names of those reporting any kind of v'aluable botanical work 

 during the year will be published in the list of active members, even 

 should the payment of fees be forgotten. All payments are credited to 

 the current year and the future. Lapsed active membership can, there- 

 fore, be restored at any time without the payment of arrears — for there 

 are no arrears recorded in the Botanical Club of Canada.
