Some of the critical genera were well represented— Rosa, 
Hieracium, Euphrasia and Mentha especially so ; but more 
Rubi, Salices and Carices would be welcome next year. A 
useful parcel of plants was sent to Bergen Museum, which was 
much appreciated by Dr. Nordhagen. He would be very glad 
to receive any British adventitious plants, especially Cruci- 
ferae and Gramineae, and also Fumarias. 
1 may add that it has been a pleasure to carry out the 
distribution, and that I am personally grateful to many corres- 
pondents for help and advice upon botanical matters. 
E. C. WALLACE, 
Sutton, Distributor. 
Surrey, 
March, 1930. 
We are again indebted to Mr. Wallace for carrying through 
the distribution so efficiently, and for his energy in collecting 
and neatly drying nearly 500 sheets of useful specimens. 
Much sympathy was felt last year for Col. Wolley-Dod in 
the prolonged and painful illness which he underwent, but 
fortunately in the early spring he made a final recovery and 
was able to examine and report upon the Roses. 
It is with profound regret that we record the death of 
Mr. Arthur Bennett on May 2nd, 1929, and of Mr. C. E. 
Salmon on January 1st, 1930. Mr. Groves has kindly written 
a very suitable appreciation of the former, and it fell to my lot 
to say something on the beautiful life and work of the latter. 
For permission to reproduce photographs of both we have to 
thank Dr. Rendle as editor of the Journal of Botany. The 
portrait of Mr. Bennett was engraved on stone. We also 
mention regretfully the more recent passing of Prof. Augustine 
Henry who did so much travelling and collecting in China ; 
and who for many years was interested in this Club, and from 
time to time examined herbarium specimens of woody plants 
submitted to him. Before going to Dublin he had lived chiefly 
at Kew and at Cambridge, and he learnt much of his forestry 
on French soil. 
We suffer also from the loss by resignation of several mem- 
bers, one of them perhaps only temporarily ; and we need fresh 
blood to take the place of those who have gone.
