REGULATIONS OF THE CLUB. 
1. The object of the Botanical Exchange Club is to facilitate the 
exchange of dried specimens of British plants, especially of critical 
species and varieties. Anyone wishing to become a member will be 
admitted on payment, to either of the Secretaries, of an annual 
subscription of Five Shillings, and on sending a parcel of dried plants 
m accordance with the subsequent rules. He will then be entitled to 
share in the distribution of specimens made in the early part of the 
year following that in which his subscription and parcel were sent. 
2. Specimens sent for distribution must be carefully dried ; must 
not exceed in size half a sheet of demy (16 by 10 inches) ; and must 
illustrate the species they represent as completely as possible. Plants 
more than 16 inches long should be once or twice folded, if by so doing 
the loots can be preserved. (In the Cyperacece, Qramina , and smaller 
hems no specimens should be sent without roots, except in the case of 
a eiy larc species, which might be in danger of extermination.) No plant 
must be sent that is not included in the list of desiderata for the current 
year, unless it be additional to those enumerated in the 6th edition of 
the “ London Catalogue of British Plants,” or be from an unrecorded 
station, or be a variety. But up to the date at which the list of 
desiderata for the year is issued the desiderata list of the preceding 
year remains m force, so that the plants collected before the appearance 
of the annual desiderata list will be received by the Club if they have 
been mentioned in the desiderata list of the previous year. 
3. Each specimen must have a label, bearing the number and name 
of the species as given in the 6th edition of the “ London Catalogue ” ; 
also the locality and county where, and the date when, the specimen 
was collected, and the collector’s name. The label should be affixed
