Perhaps Mr. Williams, who has for some years heen working at 

 Middlesex plants, may be able to show that some of these are still 

 entitled to a place in the flora. 



Mr. Nicholson writes : " Even within om* own time many well- 

 known localities have been lost, and Highgate Woods, which tliii-ty 

 years ago were a blaze of colour in spring, are now so intersected by 

 cinder and asphalt paths that their beauty has been almost destroyed. 

 Blue-bells are practically non-existent, and the thousands of wood 

 anemones are now represented by a few miserable clumps of leaves 

 here and there. The be jr drainage of the woods has destroyed 

 numerous plants, and several fine clumps of such plants as Carex 

 pendula and Carex vesicaria have been lost. Bishop's Wood, too, 

 in Hampstead, is being rapidly spoiled, and within the last twenty 

 years the famous alder copse at Whetstone has been converted into 

 builder's land. The acquisition of Hampstead Heath for public use 

 has now practically extinguished its interest as a botanical area." 



Mr. Kogers's paper on the Epping Forest flora is of greater general 

 interest, as he has evidently carefully studied not only the plants of 

 the district but the circumstances under vvliich they occur. The types 

 of plant habitats within the Forest boundaries are three : —
