Carl Lindman of the Riksmuseum, Stockholm, became 
members ; and the late Dr. Briquet of Geneve sent us 300 
sheets of duplicates, chiefly collected c. 1855 by E. and A. 
Huet du Pavilion in Sicily, Switzerland and the Pyrenees. 
Messrs. C. C. Lacaita and J. W. White also gave useful 
Continental specimens in 1923 ; and for a few years Dr. Karl 
Rechinger of Vienna was a contributing member. In 1931 
Dr. Walo Koch of Zurich joined, and has sent each year 
beautifully dried sets of interesting or rare Swiss plants. 
For some years we have received in exchange for our 
Reports the Bulletin de la Soc. Royale de Belgique, and more 
recently Natur und Museum, a well illustrated monthly 
magazine published at Frankfurt-am-Main. Both these 
periodicals have been regularly placed on permanent loan in 
the Botany Department of the University of Bristol. 
A copy of our Annual Report has for very many years been 
given to The Linnean Society, the Royal Botanic Gardens, 
Kew, the Bodleian Library, University Botanical Library at 
Oxford, Cambridge University Library, C. U. Botany School, 
National Library of Wales, National Library of Ireland, 
Trinity College Library (Dublin), Birmingham Central Public 
Library, Botanical Society of Edinburgh, Croydon Nat. Hist. 
Society, Somersetshire Archaeological and Nat. Hist. Soc., 
Lloyd Library, Cincinnati, Conservatoire Botanique de 
Geneve, the editor of The Journal of Botany, the editor of the 
“ B.E.C.” (in exchange), and to several British botanists, . 
expecially those who as non- members have helped to identify 
critical plants. Also to the British Museum (Nat. Hist.) and the 
Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, who subsequently became 
subscribers. A few years ago a great effort was made by the 
Treasurer and the Secretary to complete as far as possible 
the sets of some of the above, and also of members. 
It has long been the custom, whenever possible, to give 
small parcels of interesting specimens, particularly of critical 
species, to several non-subscribing institutions such as Kew, 
the British Museum (Nat. Hist.), Cambridge University, and 
the R. Botanical Gardens at Edinburgh. The three last 
became subscribers some years ago. And it has doubtless 
been usual for any Referee to have the option of keeping a 
specimen of any plant sent for his opinion. 
Especialty since about 1910 the Club has suffered much 
through the great paucity of Scotch and Irish members of
