THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB 
OF THE BRITISH ISLES. 
REPORT OF THE DISTRIBUTOR FOR 1894. 
The number of plants sent in is slightly less than the average of 
recent years, the number of contributors a little higher. It is still 
necessary to impress on some members the desirability of sending in 
not less than ten sheets for each species. 
Mr. Rogers remarks with regard to the Rubi : “There is a most 
satisfactory feature in this year’s Rubi. I have detected no mixture 
of specimens, evidence of a great advance in knowledge and careful- 
ness on the part of collectors. The specimens also are above 
average, though many of them still collected too late in the season.” 
Our thanks are due to those who have most kindly commented on 
the plants referred to them — to Rev. W. Moyle Rogers and Dr. W. 
O. Focke, Rubi and Rosa ; Mr. F. J. Hanbury, Hieracia ; Mr. F. 
Townsend, Euphrasia and Taraxacum ; Prof. Hackel, Grasses ; M. 
E. Malinvaud, Mentha ; and to Messrs. A. Bennett G. C. Druce, and 
W. P. Hiern, and Revs. E. S. Marshall, E. F. Linton, and A. Ley, 
for notes on various critical plants. 
We deeply regret the death of Dr. F. Buchanan White, whose 
valued assistance in the determination of Salices is thus lost to us. 
An obituary notice of him appeared in the ‘Journal of Botany’ for 
February. 
I have followed the excellent example of a former Editor in 
supplying several members’ special wants out of my own duplicates.
