2362 sheets of plants have been received from 24 contribu- 
tors, and 74 packets of seeds from Mr. Little. The plants on the 
whole were well prepared ; but some were very poor in this 
respect, which is to be deplored, especially as they included some 
of the rarest plants sent in. The contributors showed care in 
adhering to the rules, which makes the distribution somewhat 
easier. 
Two hybrid Carices, new at least to Britain, were included in 
the parcels, viz. : Carex remota x divisa , discovered in Sussex by 
Mr. C. E. Salmon, and Carex contigua x vulpina, found in 1922 
near Bristol by Mr. H. S. Thompson. 
A parcel of foreign plants sent by Mi'. C. C. Lacaita was 
much appreciated ; and in March a century of Belgian plants, 
mostly common species, arrived from the Director of the Jardin 
Botanique dc l’Etat, Bruxelles. 
The thanks of the Club are due to the following, who kindly 
acted as .referees : Mr. A. Bennett, Mr. E. G. Baker, Mr. W. C.
