126 Flora of Duimfriesshire. 



assistaiici^ tin's y»'ar, and in addition to those already mentioned in 

 my former list, the following have rendered me valuable assistance 

 this summer : — 



Mr G. Bell, Caledonian Place, Lockerbie ... cited as G.Bl. 



Mr J. H. Dixon. Dabton, Thornhill „ J.H.Bx. 



Mr R. Doughty, Byreburn, Canobie ... ... ,, R.Do. 



Mr A. B. Hall, Thirsk „ A.B.H. 



Mrs Stewart, Shambellie ... ... ... ,, Siv. 



Miss Wedderburn, Gleulair (Herb.arium) ... ,, Wd.Herh. 

 Miss J. Wilson and E. Bell, Esq. (Catalogue of 



Upper Eskdale Plants) ... cited as/. Wl. and R.Bl. 



I have also to thank Dr Wilson, curator of the Edinburgh 

 Heibarinm, for kindly looking in the collection for localities 

 from the three counties, and through his assistance I have obtained 

 records of the work of the following, whose names are new to the 

 Flora : Messrs T. B. Bell (7:^.^/), .1 A. Brown (J.A.Br.), G. Horn 

 {G.Bo.), Mr Craig Christie {C.C), and Mr Maughan (Man.) 



I have also found a few plants gathered by Mr Ridley (S.O.B.) 

 in the British Museum Herbarium. 



A new feature of the Flora is the dates on which plants 

 were first noticed, and for which I am entirely indebted to Mr 

 J. T. Johnstone. 



MembTS of the Society will, I am afraid, notice that there is a 

 great want of definitcness in the notes on altitude and habitat, 

 but this is due to want of information, which I hope to remedy in 

 time. 



It will also be seen from the text that the Flora is really the 

 work of those who have and are now kindly assisting me. Mr A. 

 Bennett has very kindly looked over most of the critical species 

 for me.
