THE FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT 
OF THE 
Moss Exchange Club, 
1900 . 
The quality of the specimens and method of packing them has 
greatly improved. A few members however still wrap their packets 
in a manner not uniform with that generally adopted ; and still 
fewer, I am pleased to observe, use printed paper for wrappers. 
This is very objectionable. 
Some of the Referees complain that in a packet of a dozen 
specimens of one species, as many as eight localties were repre¬ 
sented. This method of tying up plants from several localities in 
one parcel makes the Referees’ work very arduous, and also renders 
specimens liable to be accidently sent out without checking. 
A few members have marked their Catalogues in a different 
manner to that prescribed in the Rules. This is very irritating and 
causes frequent errors where a large number of catalogues are 
being dealt with at once. 
After these “grumbles,” which I make in the interests of my 
successors, I must say that I have found the work of distribution 
both instructive and interesting.
