I do not think that it will be necessary to go through the 

 general lists, which refer rather to the County at large ; bnt, as an 

 application of the same principle to local requirements, I have 

 drawn up a catalogue of all the more important plants of the 

 AVatford district, which, under one or other of the three heads above 

 mentioned, are liable to any degree of uncertainty; and to facilitate 

 their investigation I have added the localities, where such have 

 been specially given. 



The remarks that I have to submit to you will be thus mainly 

 interrogatory in their scope, and are designed not so much to give 

 — and indeed this would be beyond my power — as to be the means 

 of eliciting information, and of inviting the attention of botanists 

 in this neighbourhood to some of those points which require 

 elucidation, before we can claim to possess an accurate knowledge 

 of the Flora. 



While thus limited in their purpose, these notes can offer but 

 little that is original. I have, however, availed myself, I believe.
