8 THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF THE BRITISH ISLES. 
REPORT OF THE DISTRIBUTOR FOR 1904. 
The number of specimens contributed is decidedly above 
the average of recent years, Mr. Ley, as usual, heading the list 
with a very large parcel of well selected and carefully dried speci- 
mens of critical species. Many of the plants sent are of great 
interest, among the more noteworthy being Fumaria occidentalis, 
Koeleria valesiaca, and a curious undetermined Cnicus from the 
Glamorgan coast. 
The Club is much indebted to the following botanists who 
have kindly acted as referees or assisted with notes : — Mr, E. G. 
Baker, Mr. VV. H. Beeby, Dr. Eric Drabble, Mr. G. C. Druce, 
Mr, Fryer, Professor Hackel, the Rev. E. F. Linton, the Rev. 
W. R. Linton, the Rev. E, S. Marshall, the Rev. H. J. Riddels- 
dell, and the Rev. VV. Moyle Rogers. Ill-health has unfortunately 
prevented Mr. Arthur Bennett from acting as a referee. This is 
a great loss to the Club, his extensive knowledge of British plants 
and the immense fund of information he has accumulated re- 
specting them having always hitherto been at our disposal. From 
the same cause we are deprived of the help of Mr. Townsend. 
Members would much lighten the Distributor’s task if they 
would adhere closely to the rules, especially by using the regulation- 
sized papers between the specimens, enclosing them in regulation- 
sized covers, and not sending less than 10 specimens of each plant, 
also by endeavouring, as far as possible, to avoid mixed gatherings.
