Fewer than 5 packets of any species are, I think, of little use for 
distribution. (Report for 1901, p. 68.) Of moderately rare species 
10 to 15 specimens or at most 20 seem to be sufficient, except in 
the case of new species and varieties which only one or two mem¬ 
bers probably possess, and of such 35 packets could be utilized. 
My impression is that members would be well advised not to send 
more than 150 to 200 specimens, though I do not wish to repress 
anyone’s generosity ; and on the other hand all should try to send 
at least from 50 to 100 packets. 
For the form of the list of species I wish to assume the sole 
responsibility. Only initials of the Collectors, when members of 
the Club, are given. I insert the name or number (in brackets) of 
the vice county, but not both, and usually one other name to define 
the locality more closely. This will not I hope impair the utility 
of the list, and will tend to economy.
