About 1881 the desirability of re-arranging the Wallichian 
erbarium in numerical order came up for discussion and on_ 
Bb oy une, 1881 a committee was appointed to carry out the suggested 
e-arrangement, uring the autumn recess the task was accom- 
iaiahad. by the late C. B. Clarke, and the Committee of which he 
was the most active member submitted a report on the collection in 
which certain gaps in the sequence were pointed out. In 1886 a 
circular was sent to the chief European herbaria, requesting that 
the missing numbers specified might be returned. Some of these 
missing numbers have, as a result, been replaced.

Society in its apartments led to the removal of the Cabinets from 
the Council chamber upstairs to the old Post office, where they 
were set up afresh. The opportunity was taken to repolish the 
Cabinets ; the cost of this and of their removal amounted to £49 i6s.
