I must also emphasise the necessity for members to obey the 
rules. Infringements cause endless trouble and confusion to 
everyone concerned in the working of the Club. Among those 
which cropped up in this year’s distribution might be mentioned : 
neglect to send latest edition (11th) of London Catalogue; 
gathering not enclosed in a wrapper bearing name of plant, with 
number in London Catalogue and number of sheets in bold 
lettering ; use of too large or too small sheets ; untidy, badly 
written labels ; neglect to send list of data (in lieu of extra label) 
for the Report ; insufficient data on labels. I feel I must also 
protest against the practice of sending single sheets for determi- 
nation ; it would be simpler for the member concerned to send 
such plants direct to the Referee; and he would probably derive 
more benefit, for any difficulties could be explained to the Referee. 
I have no doubt the Secretary would willingly supply the address 
of any Referee that might be wanted. 
In addition to those sent to contributing members, parcels 
were sent to Kew, the British Museum, and some half-dozen 
non-contributing members who applied for surplus. 
Our best thanks are due to the Referees, and for notes 
received from Messrs. A. Bennett and C. E. Britton, Dr. E. 
Drabble, Messrs. J. Fraser and Jas. Groves, Prof. A. Henry, 
Messrs. W. 0. Howarth, A. B. Jackson, J. E. Little, W. H. 
Pearsall, H. W. Pugsley, H. J. Riddelsdell, Miss I. M. Roper, 
Messrs. C. E. Salmon, H. S. Thompson, J. W. White, Lt.-Col. 
Wolley-Dod, and others.

We are under an obligation to Mr. David G. Catcheside, Jun., 
for the efficient way in which he managed the distribution ; and 
I am personally indebted to him for his willing help in the pre- 
paration of the Report. Probably never in the history of the 
Club has so young a member acted as Distributor. Indeed, 
while some of the older members are perforce less active than 
formerly, it is gratifying that several quite young men are doing 
very useful and observant work as collectors. We still, however, 
much need a few active members from both Scotland and Ireland, 
and others from the north of England. 
We are grateful to Dr. Karl Rechinger for the large and 
interesting parcel of specimens sent from Southern Austria and 
elsewhere, which I understand comprised many rare plants. But
