REPORT  FOR  1912—13. 
Although  the  number  of  contributors  was  fewer  by 
four  than  last  year,  the  number  of  sheets  received  was 
greater  by  714.  Mr.  W.  C.  Barton  sent  a  fine  parcel  of 
679  sheets,  almost  the  largest  number  that  has  ever  been 
contributed  at  one  time  by  any  member.  Mr.  Bickham 
came  next  with  355,  and  then  followed  Mr.  Comber  with 
347,  Mr.  Little  with  298  and  Miss  Roper  with  252. 
The  full  list  is  as  follows: —

The  specimens  as  a  whole  were  very  well  selected  and 
carefully  dried.  The  number  of  sheets  of  each  variety  or 
species  was,  on  the  average,  greater  than  was  the  case  last 
year,  enabling  a  more  just  and  equal  distribution  to  be 
made.  On  this  occasion  I  have  little  reason  to  complain
