Hamilton, Bermuda, 



22nd August, 1900. 

 Dear Sir,— I beg to hand to you herewith 

 for the Board of Agriculture, (gratuitously) if 

 they see fit to accept, a work I have compiled 

 on the Botany of Bermuda. It contains the 

 results of two years observations, and is, I 

 think, as accurate as a work of this nature 

 can be. I have avoided as far as possible, 

 the use of botanical terms, so as to make it 

 comprehensible to every reader. Should the 

 Board publish it I shall request a few copies 

 for distribution among botanical friends out 

 of Bermuda. 



I have the honour to be, 



Yours faithfully, 



H. B. SMALL. 

 Mr. Bishop, 



Sup't. Botanic Station, 

 Bermuda.
