In  a  few  instances  I  have  taken  the  liberty  of  dividing 
overcrowded  sheets,  or  of  combining  some  which  were 
rather  poor,  so  that  the  figures  given  above  may  not  in 
every  case  correspond  with  the  actual  number  of  sheets 
sent  in. 
Through  the  generosity  of  Mr.  Lloyd  Praeger  it  has 
been  possible  to  supply  all  the  contributing  members  with 
specimens  of  Glyceria  festucceformis ,  Heynh.  The  Rev. 
W.  Moyle  Rogers  and  the  Rev.  E.  F.  Linton  have  very 
kindly  presented  parcels  of  plants. 
Mr.  Davey  writes  to  say  that  the  Geranium  from 
Padstow  sent  to  the  Club  last  year  was  G.  modestum, 
(Rept.  1904 — 5,  p.  11).  On  further  reference  this  is  found 
to  be  so. 
I  offer  my  thanks  to  the  members  who  have  lightened 
the  work  of  distribution  by  adhering  strictly  to  the  Rules 
of  the  Club , — others  please  note,— and  I  express  my 
gratitude  to  the  referees  and  all  who  have  assisted  by 
examining  and  reporting  on  critical  species  for  their  kind 
consideration  and  help. 
WILLIAM  BELL, 
Distributor  for  the  year  1905 — 1906. 
The  death,  on  December  16th,  1905,  of  Mr.  Frederick 
Townsend,  F.L.S.,  is  deeply  regretted  by  all  botanists,  by 
whom  he  will  always  be  remembered  with  gratitude  for 
the  help  he  so  courteously  gave  in  the  determination  of 
the  Euphrasia.  Even  so  recently  as  last  October  the 
Club  was  indebted  to  him  for  naming  some  specimens 
which  were  distributed  in  the  1905  parcels ;  this  was 
probably  his  last  botanical  work. 
Our  thanks  are  due  to  Mr.  Bell  for  acting  as  the 
Club’s  Distributor  during  the  past  two  years,  and  for  his 
kindness  in  presenting  the  illustration  which  is  given  in 
this  Report,  also  to  Mr.  Mennell  for  generously  sending 
for  the  Club  a  parcel  of  his  duplicate  Reports. 
Mr.  Bickham  has  kindly  undertaken  to  distribute  next 
year,  and  parcels  of  plants  should  be  sent  to  him  at
