SECRETARY’S REPORT. 
Members will hear with regret that Mr. Waddell has found it 
necessary to resign the secretaryship of the Club. I am sure he 
has earned the gratitude and thanks of the Club for the time and 
trouble he has given to promote the success so far reached, and also 
for his thoughtful initiation of the Club. 
He has asked me to fill his place, and this I have promised to 
do, so long as I can find time to carry out the duties. 
We shall all welcome Mr. Waddell back as Secretary, when he 
can find time to give to the work. 
Professor Barker has finished his two years as Distributer, and I 
wish to offer him also the gratitude and thanks of the members for 
the good work he has done for us. 
I think it right to lighten the heavy work of the Distributer as 
much as possible, and with this end in view I hope soon to issue 
three Lists :— 
(1) The additions to the Mosses in the Handbook Catalogue, 
and to the Hepatics in the Hepatic Catalogue. 
(2) Renauld’s arrangement of the Harpidia. 
(3) The Sphagna, according to Warnstorf. 
These Lists will greatly facilitate the work of the Distributer, 
and will better enable members to get the plants they want. 
It is also proposed to cancel all Desiderata Lists, and rely upon 
the marked catalogues drawn up by Professor Barker, and which 
are now on their rounds. It will help the Distributer if members 
will copy in their catalogues the figures entered in the circulating- 
catalogues. 
Mr. R. H. Meldrum has kindly promised to act as Distributer 
next time, and members are requested to send their parcels to him 
any time in December. 
Wm. INGHAM.
