EXTRACTS FROM RULES. 
I. — The Botanical Record Club shall be an association of persons desirous 
of forwarding the purposes for which the Club was (in 1873) formed, the 
condition of membership being a subscription to the funds. 
II. — The objects of the association shall be to verify, register, and publish 
annually such facts (relating to the horizontal or vertical distribution of British 
Plants) as may be furnished for the purpose by the members, and as seem to 
merit publication either as (i) hitherto unpublished (for example, a fresh 
station for a plant, with a comital census at least under sixty, occurring in a 
county for which it may be already on record) ; or (2) as additional to the items 
tabulated in Mr. FI. C. Watson’s works ; Compendiuin Cybele Britannica, its 
Supplement, and Topographical Botany ; and Moore & More’s Cybele Hibernica; 
or (3) as interesting and worthy of repetition by reason of previous confusion, 
uncertainty, or reported extinction. 
III. — Since there is for the Mosses and Hepaticce no existing compendium 
of published data analogous to those above mentioned for Phanerogamia and 
the Vascular Cryptogams, it shall be an aim of the Club to work out and 
tabulate the distribution throughout Britain of such lower Cryptogams, effect- 
ing this, first, by the successive compilation and printing of moss and hepatica 
florulas for each county ; and, second, by subsequent addenda to such comital 
lists as may have been previously issued. 
IV. — A third object of the Club shall be the exemplification of geographic 
plant-distribution (first phanero-, then crypto-gamic) by means of outline 
county maps, so displayed as to indicate the various ‘types’ of distribution, 
best discernible in such way, for selected representative species. 
XL — Membership in this Club shall be of two kinds : — Honorary (or non- 
contributing) and Ordinary (or working) members. 
Honorary members need not contribute any specimens, but shall subscribe 
annually a sum of not less than ten shillings. 
Ordinary members shall subscribe not less than five shillings annually, and 
shall also send annually plants as defined in Rules II and HI.
