SECRETARY’S REPORT. 
The Club continues in a flourishing state, both financially and 
in the number and quality of the plants exchanged. 
Mr. Meldrum has again kindly marked the Circulating Catalogues, 
and it is hoped that, as these Catalogues circulate, members will 
note the wants of the Club. Sending in Oblata lists has proved of 
value, but for the next Exchange, it will be well for members to 
send a list of interesting plants in addition to those indicated as 
wanted on the Circulating Catalogues. 
Our present Hepatic Catalogue is now quite out of date, and 
Mr. Macvicar has kindly promised to prepare a new Catalogue for 
the Club, which will be in touch with the best Continental and 
American work. It will be based on Schiffner’s arrangement in 
“ Engler and Prantl.” 
This Catalogue will not differ much from our present Catalogue, 
which is based upon Spruce’s work. When finished, it is proposed 
to issue it to members as a Census Hepatic Catalogue. 
Mr. Macvicar will do the “Census” part for Scotland, and all 
members interested are invited to co-operate in doing the “Census” 
part for England, Wales, and Ireland, as far as our present know¬ 
ledge extends. 
It would be a great advance also, if the Club could undertake the 
preparation of a Census Moss Catalogue. The Club Rule II. gives 
the working up of the County distribution as one of the objects of 
the Club, and no doubt a very important object. 
Mr. Meldrum has now finished his two years’ work as Distributer, 
and I am sure all members will wish to thank him very much for 
the trying work he has done so well for the good of the Club. 
Mr. D. A. Jones, F.L.S., Rock House, Harlech, has kindly under¬ 
taken the duties of Distributer for the next two years. Oblata lists 
and Catalogues should be sent to him late in November, or early in 
December. 
Wm. INGHAM, Hon. Secretary.
