During each day's march notes were kept of the plants 

 observed in Hower, since in that way it will ultimately l)e 

 possible to see whether any pronounced difference exists between 

 the times of flowering in the National Park and on the 

 mainland. Seasonable variations in the time of flowering are 

 indicated in several cases by the fact that plants not noted in 

 flower on previous visits at this time were found in flower during 

 the present excursion. A large proportion of the following list 

 is due to the careful notes kept by Mr. Williamson.
