UEPORT OF THEI COUNCIL FOB 1951 
27 
EXCHANGE SECTION. 
To the 1950/51 Distribution, 9 members contributed 589 sheets of 
specimens. Mr. E. S. Edees acted as Distributor, and his report was 
published in the Year Book, 1951. Miss C. W. Muirhead is acting as 
Distributor for 1951/52 and is now dealing with the plants contributed. 
During the year a tablet was prepared and affixed to the portrait 
of J. G. Baker bequeathed to the Society by his son, and now on loan 
to the Linnean Society. 
The problem of storage of the Society’s records, maps, files, and 
publications to which it is necessary to have frequent access, is causing 
increasing difficulties in demands on the space available in the officers’ 
homes. Our work would be greatly facilitated by the permanent use of 
a room where our Committees could meet regularly and where our pos- 
•sessions could be stored. While the Council have no immediate solution 
in mind, they think members should know that the matter has been 
under consideration during the year. 
The Council would like to express their appreciation of the services 
of members who have represented the Society at meetings of other 
organisations and at Public Enquiries during the year. 
O. E. Raven, President. 
J. E. Lousley, Hon. General Secretary.
