The Flora of Glamorgan. 79 



NOTE ON THE PREPARATION OF SECTION III. 



In the preparation of Section III. the numbers and names 

 of the ninth edition of the London Catalogue have been used, 

 notwithstanding the pubhcation of the tenth edition. In this, 

 novelty, and httle else, has been sacrificed for uniformity. 



The list of records has been considerably curtailed in this 

 section, by inserting them for those districts only where the 

 species is rare or local. In many cases, too, one authority 

 only for a locality is quoted ; — in general, the oldest. All 

 records are being preserved by the Hon. Secretaries, whether 

 inserted or not, and will be available for future reference.
