Ixxii PEOCEEDINGS OF THE EOYAL HOETICDLTUEAL SOCIETY. 



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 address 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 (Advt. pp. 38, 36) 

 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 are 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, especially 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 by : — 



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. 



3. Providing lectures with lantern slides. 



4. Presenting books to fill the gaps in the Library both at Vincent 

 Square and at Wisley. 



5. Sending new and rare Plants and Seeds for the Garden and surplus 

 Boots for distribution to the Fellows. 



6. Sending Plants for the Neio Bock Garden at Wisley. 



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

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

 therefore, asks those who read these lines to do their best to help in any 

 of the ways above indicated. 



Since this notice last appeared, the following gifts have been received : — 

 Two large water-colour drawings of orchids from Sir Trevor Lawrence, 

 Bart., K.C.V.O. ; 150 volumes from the late Colonel Beddome's library, 

 presented by Mrs. Beddome ; a collection of dried specimens of British 

 plants from Miss F. M. Hudson, for the Wisley School ; and a fine old 

 steel engraving of Linnaeus from Mr. Christopher P. Sandberg. 



n. LINDLEY LIBRARY. 



The Society acting in and through its Council, having now become 

 sole trustee of the Lindley Library, Fellows and friends of the R.H.S. 

 have the encouragement of knowing that their gifts to the Library can
