(In connexion with the Botanical Society of London.) 
The following is the Prospectus of the above Club :— 
“ As the majority among the Members of the Botanical Society of 
London are interested only in the distribution of British plants, the 
Council have determined to limit the general operations of the Society 
to exchanges of British specimens. To meet the requirements of 
those who desire foreign specimens also, it has been considered 
advisable to form a subordinate Club, specially intended for that 
purpose. 
“ Rules for Membership and Distribution.

don is intended to facilitate exchanges of Botanical Specimens 
between British and foreign botanists; supplying the former with

admitted a Member of the Club on filling up the annexed form, and

of the Club, if not a Member of the Botanical Society of London. 
“]V.—Any Botanist residing out of Britain may be admitted a 
Foreign Member of the Club on his sending a parcel of foreign plants, 
selected in accordance with lists of desiderata for the Club, obtained 
by application to the Distributor.

mens of British plants as may be required by the Foreign Members 
of the Club. 
“ VI.—The Botanical Society shall place at the disposal of the 
Club the whole of its present stock of foreign plants, and all others

ment of the expenses incurred by the Club.

Club shall be provided by making a charge on the specimens sent to
