 the summits of hills exceeding 1500 feet; and this whether 

 the plants are in flower or not."

 aided the author are honoured with a place in his volume : 

 and we hope our readers will cause this list to be much 

 lengthened in a second edition. If an extensive and intimate 

 acquaintance with British plants were always accompanied 

 by leisure to communicate one's knowledge of facts appertain- 

 ing to them, we should see, in the next list, the following 

 names : — Rev. G. R. Leathes, Shropham, Norfolk ; J. Not- 

 cutt, Esq., St. Peter's, Ipswich ; Rev. W. T. Bree, Allesley 

 Rectory, Warwickshire ; A. H. Haworth, Esq., Queen's Elm,
