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. Any one wishing to become a member will be 
admitted on payment, to either of the Secretaries, of an annual sub- 
scription of Five Shillings, and on sending a parcel of dried plants in 
accordance with the subsequent rules. He will then be entitled to 
share in the distribution of specimens made in January 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 roots can be preserved. (In the Cyperacea ?, Gramma, and 
smaller Ferns no specimens should be sent without roots.) No plant 
need 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.’ 
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 
to the specimen by cutting a transverse slit in the base of the label, 
through which the specimen may be 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.
