such part of my personal estate as I can lawfully charge with the payment 

 of such legacy, and to be paid free of legacy duty, within six months of 

 my decease ; the receipt of such Treasurer to be a sufficient discharge 

 for the same. And I declare that the said legacy shall be applied towards 

 [the general purposes of the Society].* 



7. PRIVILEGES OF CHEMICAL ANALYSIS. 



Instructions are contained at page 74 in the "Book of Arrange- 

 ments," 1909. 



8. LIST OF FELLOWS. 



A list of all the Fellows of the Society is sent out in January. 

 Fellows are requested to look at their own names in it, and if in any way 

 these are incorrect, or the addresses insufficient, they are requested to inform 

 the Secretary at once. Forms of Nomination, and of the Privileges of 

 Fellows, are bound in with every number of the Journal and the 

 " Book of Arrangements." 



9. NEW FELLOWS. 



The President and Council fully appreciate how much the prosperity 

 of the Society and its present large number of Fellows is due to the 

 efforts of Fellows to enlist the sympathy of their friends ; and the 

 steady advance during recent years indicates the increasing recognition 

 of the Society's work and usefulness. But it must not be supposed that 

 a maximum has yet been reached. There is ample room for a great 

 increase of Fellows, in the North of England especially, as well as in 

 America and the Colonies. 



10. AN APPEAL. 



What has been accomplished for the Society since 1887 is largely due 

 to the unwearied assistance afforded by a small proportion of the Fellows ; 

 but as all belong to the same Society, so it behoves each one to do what 

 he or she can to further its interests, especially in : — 



1. Increasing the number of Fellows. 



2. Helping to swell the General Prize Fund started by Mr. A. W. 

 Sutton, V.M.H., for providing Prizes for the Students at Wisley ; and 

 also the special Nicholson Memorial Prize Fund. 



3. Lectures with lantern slides. 



4. Books are required to fill the gaps in the Library both at Vincent 

 Square and at Wisley. 



5. New and rare Plants and Seeds are wanted for the Garden and 

 surplus roots for distribution to the Fellows. 



6. Assisting in making Abstracts for the Journal. 



Thus there is plenty for all to do according to their individual liking : 

 personal effort, money, plants, books, are all alike needed. The Secretary,

 to the bequest may be substituted for the words in brackets.
