W. B. Turrimt. 
The present contribution. to the flora Macedonia is based 
on collections made, in their spare time, by men engaged 
on active service with the British Silonitns Forces. It is not 
necessary to emphasise the difficulties of preparing and dis-

results, as set forth in this paper, show that it can be done with 
a considerable amount of success, and will, it is hoped, not only, 
encourage those who are still collecting, but induce others to 
help in the botanical exploration of Macedonia, a country whose 
flora has hitherto been less known than that of any other 
Balkan district. 
Since it is not pte — to publish a complete -flora of 
Macedonia, the saved the setae trouble of

for the great ranges of the Balkan and Rhodope Mountains 
but also for the smaller ranges of hills Saintiedtiately to the north 
of Salonika, viz., t ‘Lembert Hills,’ the Krusa Balkan, 
Kara-dagh, B echik- dagh, Belachica Planina, etc. The main 
trend of the intervening plains is consequently in the same
