REPORT FOR 1904. 
7 
‘The Flora of Hampshire.’ A new edition, by Mr. Frederick 
Townsend. The veteran member of our Club must be heartily 
congratulated on producing this important work, which contains 
descriptions of eight species of Salicornia, six of which, S. siricta, 
Dumort., S. procumbens, Sm., S. ramosissima, Woods, S. pusilla. 
Woods, and var. gracillima, Towns., S. intermedia^ Woods, and 
S. appressa, Dum., are annual, and two, S. radicanSy Sm., and 
.S. lignosuy Woods, are perennial. Authenticated specimens of 
these are among our desiderata. 
‘ The Flora of the County Dublin ’ has also been issued by 
Mr. N. Colgan (Dublin : Hodges, Figgis and Co.), and gives a very 
complete account of the Flowering Plants, Higher Cryptogams and 
Characeae, as well as an excellent list of printed material, MSS., 
&c., relating to the Botany of the County. 
One of our members, Mr. Stanley Guiton, has published ‘ Hints 
on Collecting and Preserving Plants ’ in a compact manual, at 
a shilling, which will be found very useful to members who desire 
to have good herbarium specimens. 
A pleasing event of the year has been the presentation of 
a handsome Album, containing photographs of nearly all the 
members of the Exchange Club, to the late Secretary, Mr. Charles 
Bailey, as a slight acknowledgment of his great services to the Club 
during the many years he acted as its Secretary, and of the great 
appreciation they have for his assistance to the interests of Botanical 
Science. 
With all best wishes, 
I am, 
Yours very sincerely, 
G. Claridge Druce, 
n 8, High Street, Oxford. 
Mr. James Walter White, F.L.S., has kindly consented to act 
as Editor of Report and Distributor for 1905. All parcels should 
be sent to him before Dec. 31, 1905, post paid, to Warnham, 
Woodland Road, Clifton, Bristol.
