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, 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.’* 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. 
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 subscrip- 
tion 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.
