THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB 
OF THE BRITISH ISLES. 
REPORT OF THE EDITOR FOR 1895 . 
The plants received for distribution number about 3,056. As 
compared with those sent in for 1894, this shows a falling off of nearly 
900, due in part to the absence abroad of one of the largest contributors 
for that year. The parcels, generally speaking, are made up sufficiently 
in accordance with the Rules, not a few being models of what is 
required. Among the latter may be mentioned that of the late Mr. 
H. C. Levinge, by whose death at Knock Drin on the nth March, 
1896, the Club loses a valued member. There are still, however, a 
few members who continue to treat with indifference the provisions 
contained in Rule 4, by placing a number of labels on the same sheet, 
pr by sending in plants on small pieces of paper spread in various 
positions over a large sheet, a point to which attention was directed 
in the Report for 1893. Thus additional mechanical labour, which 
belongs to each member individually, is imposed upon the Editor and 
Distributor ; however, those who do not comply with the rules of a 
club to which they belong, cannot reasonably complain if their queries 
receive but scant attention unless calling for investigation in the 
interests of the Club generally. 
The thanks of the members are due to the following botanists for 
reporting on the various plants submitted to them : — Rev. W. Moyle 
Kogers, ; Prof. Crepin, Roscr) Mr. F. J. Hanbury, Hieracia]
