and the card has to be re-written. 
In dealing with records from parts of vice-counties which have been 
transferred froTu one county to another since H. C. Watson’s time, the 
form “ 20, [Beds.] ” will be used, which indicates that the locality is 
now in Bedfordshire but belongs to vice-county 20, as it was in Hert- 
fordshire when the vice-county boundaries were fixed by Watson. 
When the record concerns an area dealt with by one of the standard 
County Floras, contributors, when they can, should indicate in ( ) the 
number or letter of the subdivision of the County used in the Flora : 
this not only is of help to the Editors but will be of assistance to future 
revisers of such Local Floras. 
When, for some reason, the name following the vice-county number 
is not the name of the vice-county, as “ 55, (Rutland),” the name is 
placed in ( ).

IRISH PLANT RECORDS AND RECORDERS 
The Council is anxious to make the registration of new or interest- 
ing Irish records more systematic than it has been in the past, and at 
the same time to co-ordinate the Avork of this Society with the recording 
done by Irish botanists in Irish journals. It has been arranged, there- 
fore, that Professor D. A. Webb will provisionally act as Recorder for 
the whole of Ireland, but that he will endeavour to “farm out” certain 
groups of counties to members who are willing to take charge of them, 
while retaining responsibility himself for general co-ordination. It has 
been the practice for many years for new Irish records to be published 
in the Irish Naturalist’s ■Journal in the first instance, with occasional 
summings-up in the Proceedings of the Boyal Irish Academy. This is 
to be continued, and Professor Webb will forward all records published 
in these journals, or which reach him privately, to the editor of 
Watsonia. 
Members who visit Ireland are asked, in return, to record as fully 
as possible the distribution of all plants which are not ubiquitous in the 
area in question (and here it may be recalled that in S.W. Ireland even 
.inthriscus sylvestris becomes extremely rare!), and to pass on these 
notes to Professor Webb, who will prepare for publication in Watsonia
