DISTRIBUTOR’S REPORT FOR 1949 
Tlie number of sheets contributed was only 325, which is the lowest 
in the history of the Societ 3 u While this has made the Distriluitor’s 
work all too easy, it is to be deplored that this vahiable branch of the 
Society’s activities has fallen to' such a low level. 
Amongst the new members there must be several who would wel- 
I ^ 
come this opportunity of obtaining slieets of interesting critical plants, 
llj' collecting in localities which have been little worked they could help 
considerably in ])roblems of distribution and add to the knowledge of 
])lauts generalh’. A few more keen workers would infuse fre.sh life 
into what appears to be a doomed .section. 
Tn the light of i\Ir Nelmes’ paj)er on Two Critical Croups of British 
Sedyes in the Societj^’s Ke])ort for 1945 memliers will appreciate the 
excellent sheets of Car ex polyphylla.
