* The Sphagna of the district have not received sufficient attention, and 

 in consequence the list here given is, to some extent, incomplete, and the 

 notes of their distribution scanty. Additional stations might have been 

 assigned the species here enumerated, and other plants recorded, but only 

 such notes have been accepted as are based on rigidly authenticated 

 specimens.
