REPORT OF THE DISTRIBUTOR FOR 1912. ' 



The sheets of specimens sent this year reached the unprecedented 

 total of 8,656, being an increase of 60 % on the number submitted 

 last year. The Distributor was thus able to send out good return- 

 parcels to every Contributor, and from the acknowledgments received 

 they proved very acceptable. 



Most of the plants were very carefully prepared. A few might 

 have been rejected without any loss. Fifty - eight Orders were 

 represented, the plants being of general interest, and no Order received 

 undue attention. The new members' contributions were good in 

 quantity, quality, and interest. 



The thanks of the Club are due to the following botanists who 

 have very kindly assisted with notes : — Mrs E. S. Gregory, Mr W. 

 Barclay, Mr A. Bennett, Dr C. Bucknall, Dr E. Drabble, Mr J. 

 Groves, Prof. E. Hackel, Mr A. Henry, Pfarrer Kiikenthal, Dr 

 Lindman, Rev. E. F. Linton, Dr J. Murr, Dr Ostenfeld, 

 Mr W. H. Pugsley, Dr Thellung, and the Rev. W. Moyle Rogers, 

 as well as to several members of the Club. My personal thanks 

 are due to Mr Wm. Copley, B.A., for his valuable help during the 

 distribution of the return-parcels.
