In laying before you the following New Records of 

 plant-distribution for this year, I may say that the 

 list appears comparatively small, and looks as if the 

 great rush over our hills and glens last year had 

 now come to a sudden stop. This is more apparent, 

 however, than real. The more common plants, which 

 had been overlooked by former recorders, were easily 

 obtained, so that every new record now is worth 

 five of the former. Yet, for many orders of plants, 

 the surrounding Watsonian Vice-Counties — Renfrew- 

 shire notably — are practically untouched. 



Allow me to express my gratitude to those gentle- 

 men, whose names appear below, for their trouble 

 in assisting me to place this information before you. 

 I would again urge those who have not taken up 

 this work to do so, as they would thus enable 

 valuable information to be made available to those 

 interested in this branch of science, and at the 

 same time derive a great amount of pleasure for 

 themselves.
