476 
specimens  for  two  Public  Museums,  we  regret  to  say,  did 
not  meet  with  the  attention  it  deserves.  The  advantage 
of  being  able  to  find  in  two  most  important  public 
collections  specimens  of  the  more  interesting  critical 
plants  commented  on  in  our  Reports  is  so  obvious  that 
we  hope  members  will  always  bear  this  in  mind. 
Valuable  notes  were  received  from  the  following 
experts,  to  whom  the  Club  is  much  indebted : — Mr.  E.  G. 
Baker,  Mr.  W.  Barclay,  Mr.  Arthur  Bennett,  Mr.  C. 
Bucknall,  Dr.  Eric  Drabble,  Mrs.  E.  S.  Gregory,  Mr.  J. 
Groves,  Mr.  A.  B.  Jackson,  Rev.  E.  F.  Linton,  Rev.  E.  S. 
Marshall,  Dr.  C.  E.  Moss,  Mr.  H.  W.  Pugsley,  Rev.  W. 
Moyle  Rogers,  Mr.  C.  E.  Salmon,  Mr.  H.  S.  Thompson, 
Mr.  J.  W.  White,  Mr.  A.  J.  Wilmott,  and  Major  A.  H. 
Wolley-Dod. 
The  thoughtful  assistance  rendered  by  the  Secretary 
has  materially  lightened  the  work  of  distribution,  and 
grateful  thanks  are  offered  to  him. 
IDA  M.  ROPER, 
Distributor  for  the  year  1914-15. 
To  Dr.  Vigurs  the  Club  is  very  greatly  indebted  for 
the  following  notice  of  the  late  Mr.  F.  H.  Davey,  who, 
during  the  years  he  was  a  member  of  the  Club  (1901 — 
1914)  was  a  frequent  contributor  of  interesting  Cornish 
plants.  Of  the  portrait  here  reproduced  by  the  kindness 
of  the  family  Miss  Davey  writes  that,  “  though  taken  so 
long  ago  as  1902  it  is  a  most  speaking  likeness,  and  he 
had  not  altered  much,  with  the  exception  of  a  sprinkling 
of  white  in  his  black  hair.  He  had  a  youthful  appearance, 
and  his  age  was  always  judged  much  lower  than  it 
really  was.”
