* "We much regret the imperfection of the list of Middlesex Brambles. It has 

 resulted from the illness of one, and absence from the county of the other, of the 

 Authors during the summer of 1808, which was to have been occupied by an investi- 

 gation of the subject. We are indebted to the Hon. J. Leicester Warren for many 

 parts of the list, which is made up of his observations and those of Mr. Hind, Mr. Lees, 

 Mr. Meehan, and the authors of the Flora Hertford iensis, with a few other, and some 

 original, localities. It is, however, probable that further investigation would not add 

 more than three or four recognised names to the list, though it would greatly improve the 

 account of their distribution through the county. We have followed Mr. Syme in making 

 the named forms, considered species in Bab. Man. vi., sul - pejiep. 



t All the fructicose Rvbi (17), recorded in Melv. 25, 2G, were found by the Rev. W. M. 

 Hind, and named by Professor Babington.
