SECRETARY’S REPORT. 
The Club continues in a very nourishing state. During the year 
we have suffered a great loss in the death of Professor Barker. I 
sent copies of the new Census Catalogue of British Mosses to him 
as soon as it was published, and it was sad that he, who had done so 
much to make it a success, was unable to see the completion of the 
work. Another valuable Member, the Rev. W. R. Linton, has also 
passed away. 
Mr. Crossland finds he must now give up all his time to the Fungi, 
and so he has resigned his membership. Another valuable Member, 
Mr. Brinkman, has gone to Canada. Four new Members have been 
admitted, and Mr. W. Id. Pearson has been made an Honorary 
Member, a small token that we can give in recognition of the great 
work he has done with Hepatics. He also wishes to keep in touch 
with the work of the Club. 
As the Balance Sheet will show, the sales of the new Census 
Catalogue have proved very satisfactory, and I have received 
numerous letters expressing the highest appreciation of the work. 
The £12 10s. 6Jd. represents the net income from sales after the 
postage has been deducted. After deducting the various free copies 
sent out for review, we now have in stock 67 interleaved and 108 
ordinary copies. The Catalogue was most favourably reviewed in 
the “ Journal of Botany,” Nov. 1907. I keep one interleaved copy 
for the sole purpose of entering additions and corrections with notes 
on the value of the new records. Vouchers have been sent in 
in almost every case, and this fact is noted in the Catalogue. 
Members are extremely grateful to Mr. Cleminshaw for the 
excellent work he has done for two years as Distributer, and, on 
this second occasion, I am sorry to say, in the presence of domestic 
trouble. 
Mr. H. H. Knight has kindly consented to act as Distributer for 
the next two years. 
Members will feel grateful to Mr. Nicholson for sending the useful 
translations of the new species at the end of the Report. 
WM. INGHAM, lion. Secretary.
