members acted thus once, viz., P. Fox Lee, E. F. Linton, 
H. E. Fox, F. H. Ward, A. H. Wolley-Dod, H. W. Pugsley, 
S. H. Bickham, F. H. Davey, A. B. Jackson, E. Drabble, 
Me Taggart Cowan, H. S. Thompson, Prof. Carr, W. H. Pearsall, 
A. E. Wade, F. J. Sheldon, D. G. Catcheside and J. E. Lousley. 
Only four persons have acted as Hon. Secretary and Editor 
of the Report, viz., A. R. Waller, T. A. Cotton (about 9 years), 
H. S. Thompson (for 5 years and again since Novem., 1920) ; 
and George Goode (1905 to Nov., 1920). 
The thankless post of Hon. Treasurer has been held by the 
following five gentlemen, viz., P. F. Lee, J. T. Powell, Alex 
Somerville, S. H. Bickham and George Goode, the last-named 
since 1920 after he had been Hon. Secretary about sixteen 
years. 
The official Referees in chronological order, though of course 
overlapping in several cases, were Arthur Bennett (18 years), 
Prof. Babington, J. G. Baker, W. Moyle Rogers, E. F. Linton, 
W. R. Linton (1904-1906 only), E. S. Marshall, Augustin Ley, 
C. E. Salmon, H. J. Riddelsdell (since 1916), H. W. Pugsley 
(since 1921), and Eric Drabble (from 1930 to his death in 
1933). 
In addition, among many other botanists who from time to 
time have kindly examined and reported upon critical or 
doubtful plants may be mentioned James Groves, W. Barclay, 
E. G. Baker, Col. Wolley-Dod, J. Fraser, A. B. Jackson, C. E. 
Moss, C. E. Britton, J. E. Little, C. Bucknall, J. W. White, 
A. J. Wilmott, W. O. Howarth, W. C. Barton, Mrs. Gregory, 
S. T. Dunn, J. E. Lousley, etc. Also we have been grateful 
for help from several distinguished Continental botanists, 
including Hackel, Kukenthal, Briquet, Danser, Ronniger and 
others. 
Annual or periodical Desiderata Lists ceased to be published 
after 1912, but we believe with no great disadvantage. It 
has been increasingly the custom to send abnormal forms and 
varieties and occasionally hybrids of common or uncommon 
plants, together with examples of critical genera ; though 
fewer of the largest genera such as Hieracium, Rosa and 
Rubus have been contributed of late. 
In 1921 it was agreed among some of the more active 
members to invite several good Continental botanists to join 
the Club, and in 1922 Dr. Holmboe, then Director of the 
Bergens Museum (followed by Dr. Nordhagen), and the late
