REPORT FOR 18 92—18 93. 



The distributor has received 2156 specimens this season, 

 contributed by 24 members. This shews a considerable falling 

 off in point of numbers from previous years, though the quality 

 of the plants is above the average. On the Ruli Mr. Moyle 

 E-ogers writes, " it is a real pleasure to me to be able to say that 

 taken as a whole this set of specimens shews a distinct improve- 

 ment in the care with which they have been selected and 

 pressed." It seems a pity that some members should content 

 themselves with sending so very few examples of plants which 

 might surely be gathered in greater quantity without difficulty 

 or danger of extermination. In several instances the material 

 sent has been insufficient to give the referee a fair chance of 

 passing an opinion, whilst nothing whatever remains over for 

 distribution. 



The Club desires to tender its thanks to Mr. A. Bennett, the 

 Eev. W. Moyle Eogers, and Messrs. J. G. Baker and F. J. 

 Hanbury for the kind trouble they have taken as referees ; also 

 to the Eev. E. F. Linton for several interesting notes. 



The plants received are here acknowledged, with the numbers 

 reckoned as sheets of specimens.
