REPORT OF THE DISTRIBUTOR FOR 1882. 
By W. H. BEEBY. 
The delay which has occurred in the publication of the Report 
for 1882 is much regretted, but it has been caused by the late period 
at which some of the criticisms were received. Dr. Boswell’s notes 
only came to hand in February, when the Report had just been 
completed, but his valuable criticisms have been added thereto. 
Members of the Club will regret to learn that this delay on Dr. 
Boswell’s part has been caused by illness. The thanks of the 
members are due to Professor Babington and Mr. Baker for 
examining Rubi, roses, and other plants; to Dr. Boswell for notes 
on various species ; to the Rev. J. E. Leefe for his report on the 
Willows ; and to Mr. Arthur Bennett, Mr. Archer Briggs, and 
Messrs. H. and J. Groves for the same on the Potamogetons, Roses, 
Characea , &c. 
Most of the New County Records have long since been published, 
and therefore appear merely as confirmations. A recapitulation of 
these will be found at the end of the Report. Some plants sent as 
New County Records have been published so long ago as the first 
edition of “Top, Botany,” and possibly I may have omitted some 
new records not sent as such by the contributors. 
The total number of plants received for distribution was about 
3440, from 35 contributors.
