acknowledge with many thanks help received from Messrs. S. R. 
Bowden, A. W. Dawson, M.A., H. C. Littlebury, and R. Morse. 
Our best acknowledgements are due to the referees, and for 
notes received from Messrs. E. O. Baker, W. Barclay, Ar. Bennett, 
and J. Fraser, Mrs. Gregory, Messrs. Jas. Groves, C. C. Lacaita, 
and A. B. Jackson, Rev. E. F. Linton, Messrs. W. H. Pearsall 
and H. W. Pugsley, Dr. G. C. Druce, Rev. H. J. Riddelsdell, 
Messrs. C. E. Salmon, H. S. Thompson, and J. W. White, and 
Lt.-Col. A. H. Wolley-Dod. 
Col. Wolley-Dod appeals for more help with Bosce. Will 
members try to supply him with plenty of good material next 
season 1 Mr. Ar. Bennett writes : “ We want any form of 
‘ Potamogeton pusillus L.’ gathered, in order to see how far we 
possess P. panormitanus Bivona-Bernardi.” Mr. A. J. Wilmott 
will be glad to receive for the Hb. Brit. Mus. ripe seeds and fruits 
chiefly (1) of plants which do not flower and fruit together, so 
that ripe seed does not occur on a herbarium sheet, (2) of local 
forms. Mr. W. C. Barton will be glad of more Carpinus material. 
Will members bear in mind that we need a few new recruits 
to fill gaps, and that contributing members would especially be 
welcomed ? A little assistance in this direction would make the 
secretary’s work less arduous. 
J. E. LITTLE, M.A., 
Distributor. 
The Club is greatly indebted to Mr. Little for the care and 
efficiency shown in the distribution, which entailed more than 
one visit to London, and for adding from his own herbarium 
many specimens to the large number gathered last year and dis- 
tributed by him. He has also been chiefly responsible for the 
editorship of the Report this year. 
Next spring we hope to re-issue a Desiderata List if funds 
permit, for some such guide would be helpful, especially to the 
more recent members. 
In February Dr. John Briquet, Director of the Conservatoire 
et Jardin botaniques de Geneve, very kindly sent me for distri- 
bution 306 sheets of continental duplicates, chiefly collected 
(c. 1855) by E. and A. Huet du Pavilion in Sicily, Switzerland, 
the Jura and Pyrenees. Many of these were so liberally sup- 
plied that I was able to distribute about 550 fairly adequate 
examples among twenty-five members who desired to participate 
jn them. At the same time Mr. Lacaita kindly sent fifty sheets
