The following paper is a continuation of my " Notes" published 

 in last 3^ear's Journal. Besides including s^Decies found in the 

 summers of 1881 and 1882, 1 have given several additional localities 

 for the rarer i^lants mentioned in my former list, hoping that they 

 may prove useful to those who take an interest in local floras. I 

 am greatly indebted to Mr. Arthur Bennett, of Croydon, for identi- 

 fying my specimens of PotmtuMjeton ; and to Messrs. Britten and 

 Ridley, of the British Museum, for similar help with the difficult 

 species of Car ex.
