From this it will be seen that the names used in my List 

 conserve (for the greater part) the generic names used in the 

 last work on British botany. 



I may now come to some special cases of discrepancies ; 

 first the census numbers of the species. Unfortunately a 

 paper in the " Irish Naturalist " on ' Additions and Correc- 

 tions to Irish Top. Bot.' was not brought to my notice until 

 a part of the work had been printed off. Hence some 

 records taken from " Irish Top. Bot.," etc., require correcting, 

 e.g. Fumaria capreolata, 40 Hi 2, F. purpurea, 24 H9, /^. 

 Bo7'CBi, 61 H16, /^ viuralis, 5 S., F. Bastardi, 37 H27. 



I have kept my " Top. Bot." posted up, and it includes a 

 considerable number of unpublished records which I have 

 personally made, therefore in many cases my numbers are 

 somewhat higher than in the " Lond. Cat." 



The genus Thalictrum is not critically understood in 

 Britain at present, and further correlation with continental 

 types is most desirable. The " Lond. Cat." gives two addi- 

 tional varieties to minus, namely odoratuvi (Gren. and Godr.) 

 and pubescens (Schleicher), but omits N. E. Brown's var.
