SECRETARY’S REPORT. 
The foregoing financial statement shows an adverse balance. 
With the increased subscription which comes into force this year, 
and with a larger membership roll, the finances are now in a more 
prosperous condition. 
In the future, however, looms the question of the publication 
of a new Desiderata list. Members are invited to offer suggestions 
as to the form which it should take. The present one is expensive 
and cumbrous, and to some members deterrent. It may, indeed, 
be well in the future to accept well-dried specimens of any British 
plants which exhibit any variation or peculiarity, or, if coming from 
unusual soils, altitudes, or habitats. Desiderata specially asked 
for could be inserted in the yearly Report.
