the river banks are Equisetum pratense and variegatum, and 
farther down the stream a Thalidrum which is thought to be 
majus, but which Mr. Arthur Bennett hesitates to so name it.

In conclusion I would appeal to members and others, 
visiting Teesdale not to collect certain rarities, notably 
Arenaria uliginosa and Thlaspi alpestre, in any but very 
small quantity. Mr. Foggitt informs me that the first 
has become annually rarer since he first observed it in 1897. 
It will probably become extinct shortly, and certainly cannot 
stand collection for the Exchange Clubs as was done three 
years back. There are plenty of interesting Teesdale plants 
which occur in the greatest abundance and which may be 
collected with impunity, so there is no excuse for taking plants 
we can ill afford to lose. 
J. E. Lousley. 
To Mr. J. E. Lousley we are greatly indebted for the 
energetic and efficient way in which he managed the Distri- 
bution, which he succeeded in accomplishing in good time 
notwithstanding illness and attention to his usual duties. 
He is again about the largest contributor of specimens, 
and we have to thank him for the loan of four little blocks 
to illustrate his article on the flora of Upper Teesdale. He 
also wrote some useful notes on his own and other plants. 
Dr. Rechinger has again sent us a large and interesting 
consignment of Austrian specimens ; and we share the 
Distributor’s regret that he was unable to send to Vienna a 
really adequate parcel in exchange. 
We must thank Mr. Little for his continued active and 
helpful interest in our affairs, and not least for making abstracts 
(correlated with our reports) from a long communication he 
received from Dr. Karl Rechinger on Salices sent to the Club 
in recent years by several members. 
I am asked to draw the attention of Referees and members 
to the fact that Messrs. Little and Lousley have the same 
initials (J.E.L.), for this has several times resulted in con- 
fusion and misquotation. 
It is a significant and deplorable fact that the two last 
Distributors, among the youngest of our members, should
