THE TWELYTH ANNUAL REPORT 
OF THE 
MOSS EXCHANGE CLUB, 
1907 . 
DISTRIBUTEE’S REPORT. 
Parcels for distribution were received from 34 Members ; 2 
Members sent catalogues only. The number participating in the 
distribution was 3G. 
The number of packets of Mosses and Hepatics contributed was 
greater than last year. This was due to the large number of Hepatics 
sent in, chiefly from Ireland ; to the attempt made to satisfy the 
wants of Members who did not possess plants marked “ not wanted” 
in the circulating Desiderata lists; also more plants were accepted 
from the Oblata Lists in the hope of increasing the number of records 
for the Moss Census Catalogue. 
In the majority of cases specimens and packets were satisfactory, 
but a considerable amount of improvement might reasonably be 
expected with some Members, both in regard to packets and to 
the specimens themselves. 
A number of “ requests ” were circulated by Mr. D. A. Jones with 
the Circulating Desiderata lists last year; in many cases these were 
forgotten or overlooked : a considerable amount of trouble would be 
saved to the distributer if these requests were attended to. It is 
hoped that Members will take note of the “ requests ” which are 
being sent round with the circulating Desiderata lists. 
The best thanks of the Club are due to Messrs. Barker, Horrell, 
Ingham, Meldrum, Macvicar, Nicholson and Wheldon for acting as 
general Referees, and to Mr. H. N. Dixon for acting as final Referee.
