DISTRIBUTOR’S REPORT FOR 1948 
It is my unfortunate duty to report a further decline in the num- 
ber of sheets received for distribution, although there was an increase 
of two over last year in the number of members who contributed par- 
cels. In consequence of the small number of gatherings represented 
one fears that the contributors of the larger parcels received a some- 
what inadequate retiirn. The specimens were all well prepared and 
the amount of material to each sheet was usually satisfactory. 
It would save the distributor much of the time spent in writing 
up the report if contributors would send the details of each gathering 
set out in accordance with the scheme used in the reports. A separate 
sli]) of paper, 8x5 inches, should be used for each gathering. 
The thanks of the Society are due to the following for their kind 
help in examining specimens and supplying notes: G. M. Ash, J. P. M. 
Ilrenan, J. S. L. Gilmour, P. Graham, J. D. Grose, C. E. Hubbard, 
J. E. Lousley, R. D. Meikle, R. Melville, E. Nelmes, E. F. Warburg, 
A. J. Wilmott. 
Thanks are also due to the Council and Director of the National 
]\Iuseum of Wales for permitting the exchange to be carried out in 
the Department of Botany.
