most desired by English members, for he hopes to send us a 
parcel next winter. And the Curator of the University 
Herbarium at Cambridge is hoping to be able sometimes to 
enter into the exchange on mutual terms. 
A considerable amount of time has been given by the 
Treasurer and Secretary to the disposal of large numbers of 
the stock of Reports, kept for the most part by the former. 
In many cases the stock was quite needlessly large. An 
ample supply remains of all Reports since the 34th (1918), 
and a more irregular number of those forming Vol. 2 ; but 
there are none of the 21st or 33rd (the first of Vols. 2 and 3 
respectively). A parcel of the late C. E. Salmon’s duplicates 
and another from Mr. R. F. Towndrow, both kindly given to 
the Secretary, have been very useful in supplying a few 
wants among members and others. But, owing to the absence 
or scarcity of the earliest Reports, only a limited number of 
gaps were able to be filled in the sets of members. Parcels 
of Reports were also sent to several important public or 
institution libraries. 
A request from the Senckenbergische Bibliothek, Frankfurt- 
am-Main, to exchange our Reports for the monthly Natur und 
Museum was gladly accepted ; and in exchange for our 
Vols. 2 and 3 we have been given a set of the Bericht, der S. 
Naturforschenden Gesellschaft (now named Natur und Museum ) 
from 1910. These high-class and well illustrated publications 
have been placed on permanent loan in the Botanical Library 
of the University of Bristol. We were informed that before 
this exchange was arranged no Library in Germany possessed 
our Reports. 
The Club was invited to be represented by a delegate 
(with one vote) at the important discussions on Nomenclature 
held at the International Botanical Congress at Cambridge 
in August. We must thank Mr. Pugsley for attending and 
taking part in those long and arduous discussions, while the 
Secretary and several other members present at the Congress 
were perhaps enjoying some less tedious and more delectable 
attractions. 
It is with deep regret that we record the death of Professor 
C. E. Moss at Johannesburg on November 11th, 1930, at the 
age of 58. Dr. Moss was a member of this Club from 1909 to 
1915, and up to 1914 he contributed many useful notes and 
determinations to our Reports. To S. Africa in particular 
it is an irreparable loss, Among the hitherto published
