much more easily handled. Several parcels were packed too j 
loosely, and others had irregular or too heavy boards: one pair j 
weighed 2^ lb. ! Millboards which are not too thick to bend 
easily are the best for protecting dried plants in. 
The Club is much indebted to the following botanists for j 
their help in examining and reporting upon doubtful plants : — j 
Mr. E. G. Baker, Mr. W. Barclay, Mr. Arthur Bennett, Mr. C. 1 
Bucknall, Dr. Eric Drabble, Mrs. Gregory, Mr. J. Groves, Mr. 1 
A. B. Jackson, Rev. E. F. Linton, Rev. E. S. Marshall, Mr. H. W, j 
Pugsley, Rev. H. J. Riddelsdeil, Rev. W. Moyle Rogers, Dr. E. J. I 
Salisbury, Mr. C E. Salmon, Mr J. W. "W kite, Mr. A. J. Wilmott I 
and Major A. H. Wolley-Dod. Several of these gentlemen 1 
kindl}' devoted time and labour under difficult and unusual cir-i 
,cu instances. It was with great regret that we hoard of serious J 
illness overtaking Mr. Linton, not long after he had begun j 
examining the specimens sent to him, and that as a result he wasji 
unable to send us his usual valued criticisms. It was also irn- j 
possible for Mr. Wilmott to find time at the Museum to write 1 
notes on some of the ‘aliens’ submitted to him. Wc welcome I 
an active new member in Mr. E. B. Bishop, who sent a most j 
interesting collection, but unfortunately the great majority were j 
single sheets not for distribution. To Mr. Moyle Rogers we are 1 
again grateful for some liubi, and to Mr. Bennett for sending I 
some useful notes upon British plants for publication.
