THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB 
OF THE BRITISH ISLES. 
REPORT OF THE DISTRIBUTOR FOR 1884. 
By ARTHUR BENNETT, F.L.S. 
In this Report on the plants gathered in 1884, I cannot help 
expressing the great regret that the members must feel (myself even 
more than any other member), as we lose the valuable aid for the first 
time of Dr. Boswell, whose state of health has precluded me from 
troubling him with any specimens. If those members who possess 
the full series of the present, and of the Thirsk Club Reports, will 
look back and see how much those Reports are indebted to and 
enriched by Dr. Boswell’s notes, they will see how much, personally, 
I feel their absence from this one. 
With these remarks, it only remains for me so say that the thanks 
of the members are due to Dr. Almquist, of Stockholm ; Prof. 
Babington, Mr. J. G. Baker, Mr. Beeby, Mr. T. Archer Briggs, Dr. 
Buchanau, of Bremen ; Dr. Focke, of Bremen ; Messrs, Groves ; 
Prof. Hackel, of St. Poelton ; and the Rev. J. E. Leefe, for their 
notes and observations on the plants submitted to them. 
The total number of plants received for distribution was about 
4,371, from 27 contributors.
