The work upon the Flora of the district, has, I regret to say, made but

 to the district being strictly preserved. 



The field work of the past year, which I am sorry to have to report as 

 having been carried on by two members only, did not result in the 

 finding of any plants entirely new to the district, but has placed on 

 record fresh localities for ten species. The list is as follows : —
