to the specimen by cutting a transverse slit in the base of the label, 
through -which the specimen may he pushed. Any facts connected 
with a species which the sender thinks important and suitable for the 
“ Report ” should be communicated on a separate piece of paper, 
written on one side only. Specimens sent not in accordance with Rules 
2 and 3 will be destroyed. 
4. Each parcel should be accompanied by a list of the plants the 
member wishes to receive from the Club. This list is to be made by 
drawing a short line before their names in the 6th edition of the 
“ London Catalogue.”* Species especially wished for should have a ! 
before the horizontal line. The name of the member and address to 
which the return parcel is to be sent should be written on the outside 
of the Catalogue. When the same copy of the Catalogue is used a 
second time the species which are no longer wanted, but which were 
marked the first time, should have a perpendicular line drawn through 
the horizontal line. Manuscript lists of desiderata will not be 
received. Rubi and Rosoe will be sent out in sets only ; so in these 
genera the horizontal line should be placed before the name of the 
genus in the Catalogue. 
5. Parcels may be sent {carriage paid') either to Mr. J. G. Baker or 
to Dr. Boswell-Syme not later than the 31st of December ; those that 
arrive after that date will not be available for the distribution for the 
current year. Members sending more valuable parcels will have their 
return parcels selected before those who send inferior ones. 
6. Members who do not send parcels, but who have been members 
of the Botanical Exchange Club previous to 1872, and paid their 
subscription for the current year before December 31st, will share in 
the annual distribution ; but the specimens for such non-contributing 
members will not be selected until the parcels of all the contributing 
members have been made up, and they cannot be selected according to 
lists of desiderata ; but general instructions, such as the desire to receive 
plants of particular districts, natural orders, or genera, will be attended 
to by the distributor. In future no new members will be received by 
the Botanical Exchange Club except those who contribute specimens 
of plants.
