IV. A third object of the Club shall be the exemplification 
of geographic plant-distribution (first phanero-, then crypto-garaic) 
by means of outline county maps, so displayed as to indicate the 
various ‘types’ of distribution, best discernible in such way, for 
selected representative species. 
V. It shall be an essential characteristic of the work of the 
Club that every record must be qualified for a place in the annual 
Report by a Voucher for its accuracy and bona-fide nature — in 
the shape of a well-selected specimen (from the locality specified 
on its label) of a size and character sufficient for its safe identifi- 
cation. These vouchers shall alone form the material for the 
Report, save and except such manuscript notices of extinctions 
of species, or of errors requiring correction, as it may be found 
necessary to publish. 
VI. The plant contributions of each season, after usage 
for the Report, shall become Government property, and with 
that intention shall each year be forwarded direct to the Royal 
Herbarium of Kew; and, being thus disposed of, shall be no 
longer the property of the Club in any sense, although the 
collections shall be open to the inspection of any member giving 
sufficient notice, and complying with such regulations as may 
govern like portions of the National Herbaria.^ 
VII. The management of the affairs of the Club shall 
devolve, in their several capacities, upon the following officers : — 
Editor of Records, Secretary and Treasurer, and such Botanical 
Referees as may be appointed from time to time by the Editor to 
assist in the determination of species. 
On all matters in dispute, concerning the polity or well-being 
of the Club, these Officers and Referees shall form an Executive 
Committee, to whose counsels shall be left such elections of 
* Note. — Director Sir J. D. Hooker has given his consent to this annual 
acceptance of the Club’s plants by the Kew authorities; and it is a suggestion 
of Mr. Baker’s that they should ultimately be incorporated with the Watsonian 
Herbarium when that is received, supplementing it as they do.
