and drying the plants of otliei' countries, the preceding regulations may 

 be followed as far as circumstances will admit. But in parcels of fo- 

 reign plants, it is desirable to include as many different species as possi- 

 ble, omitting only the common European plants. It is not required that 

 all the specimens should be labelled, though it is wished that each 

 species should have its label. When a foreign parcel includes 500 

 specimens, or upwards, the Society will print labels for them, — if 

 from the same country and Contributor.
