THE EIGHTH ANNUAL. REPORT 
OF THE 
Moss 
Exchange Club, 
1903- 
report OF THE DISTRIBUTER FOR 1903. 
Thirty members have sent in contributions, and two others 
Desiderata catalogues only. 
The best thanks of the Club should be offered to Messrs. Dixon, 
Horrell, Ingham, Macvicar, Meldrum, Nicholson, and Wheldon, 
who have again given their services as referees. The number of 
packets sent in, and submitted to them, shows the onerous char¬ 
acter of their duties. Their reports show, I am glad to say, that 
the quality of the specimens and the correctness of the names 
continue to improve, few errors having been detected. 
I might repeat most of my last year’s report, but content myself 
with referring members to that. 
The inconvenience of having no up-to-date lists of .Sphagna, 
Harpidia, and Novelties is still much felt, but Mr. Ingham is hoping 
to be able to mitigate it. 
It is proposed to again circulate catalogues with the approximate 
number of each species and variety wanted at next distribution 
marked thereon. I have again collated the Desiderata lists of 
members, and find the numbers circulated last year a closer approx¬ 
imation than I ventured to hope. If some members would pay 
more attention to these numbers they would save themselves, the 
referees, and the distributer some trouble.
