270 PROCEEDINGS COTTESWOLD CLUB 1903 
is formed the Club shall advise it as far as possible over 
the district worked by the Club, and that the Club should 
support it and should obtain support from it in acquiring 
or enclosing places to be preserved or in approaching 
land-owners or others requesting them to abstain from 
ruining a locality. 
V. That the Club is of opinion that the following 
courses are open to botanists in threatened places, and 
that it considers them perfectly legitimate from the point 
of view of science :— 
I. To transplant plants from a threatened spot to 
another but safe spot in the same locality, if the geological : 
and natural formations are the same, e¢.g., a field containing 
Fritillaria meleagris threatened to be ploughed up or 
built upon—to remove the plants to a safe place close by : 
the edge of a quarry, being worked, tumbling in and taking 
with it plants of Spzrea filipendula, to remove them 
further back. 
2. To save or cultivate the seed of a very rare plant, 
and to sow it where such plant actually grows in order to 
keep up a stock, and even to cultivate and to plant seed- 
lings in the same way instead of sowing seed, e.g., any 
plants like Geranium sanguineum and Veronica spicata 
constantly liable to be picked. 
VI. That at every meeting of the Club in order to 
keep the question of threatened plants (and any threatened 
objects may be included at the same time) before it, one 
of the agenda should take the form of a question, “ Has 
any member to report that any plants or objects of interest 
are in danger,” and of an appeal to members to keep watch. 
The above resolutions and recommendations were con- 
firmed and passed after a discussion upon the original 
second resolution, which was altered to its present form.
