REPORT OF THE DISTRIBUTER (1905). 
The number of packets sent in for distribution as 
reported on page 1, and the quality of the gatherings are 
evidence of the keen and sustained interest of the working 
members. 
Many rare plants were included and in most cases, 
they were carefully prepared and sufficiently labelled. 
It will not be amiss, however, to recall the high 
standard laid down by a former Secretary. 
“Specimens should be clea?i; packed in white 
paper; and should bear record of na?ne , catalogue 
number . date , locality, matrix and information 
of special interest. The size of specimens and of 
the packets in which they are placed should be 
the happy medium , not microscopic and not 
cumbersome 
It is a pleasure to handle good specimens, neatly 
packed and labelled. 
If I might venture to select from the numerous 
specimens three as specially worthy of comment, I should 
name:— 
1. Lophozia arenana Nees .— A Hepatic new to 
Britain, gathered at Harlech by D. A. Jones, 
January, 1906. 
'1. Tetraplodon Wormskioldii, Lindb. (c. fr.) 
gathered near Killin by D. A. Haggart and 
identified by E. Cleminshaw (the second British 
record). A single specimen of each of the 
above was sent in and I have exercised the 
privilege of distributer and retained them. 
3. Hypnum capillifolium , Warnst. gathered in 
Brandenberg by C. Warnstorf, June, 1905 and 
contributed by W. Bellerby.—See Handbook 
Pages 510 and 549. The few specimens have 
been distributed among the most advanced 
members.
