Lycopods and Horsetails, out of the 1665 forms numbered as 
species in the seventh edition of the London Catalogue of 
British Plants. We have also some 36 other species, out of the 
210 in the lists of “excluded species” of that work, or not 
mentioned in it; and 131 varieties out of 558 lettered in the 
Catalogue, besides 9 not there mentioned. Among these forms 
are all those whose existence in the county was queried by me 
last year. 
These statistics show that much is yet to be done with 
reference to varieties. We have far more records of rare, 
beautiful, and conspicious plants than of common weeds. Our 
information, moreover, comes mainly from the neighbourhood of 
our larger towns. Thus, having determined to adopt the twelve 
hydrographical districts as laid down on the map accompanying 
my ‘Preliminary Notes,”* excluding all outlying parts of the 
county, such as the parish of Minety, we find our information 
thus distributed: 
I. Chipping Camden, or Upper Warwickshire Avon and 
Stour District, very badly represented; but some help anticipa- 
ted from Mr. Townsenv. There are also some localities in Dr. 
Lexs’ Flora of Worcestershire. 
TI. Cheltenham, Tewkesbury and Winchcomb, or Chelt and 
Lower Warwick Avon District, well represented by Professor 
Bucxman’s Flora, a list from Dr. Lees, Major BarRNarpv’s list 
and other sources. 
Ill. Newnham and Newent, or West Severn District fairly 
worked by Mr. Harker and others, with a list by J. Onrons 
from Bromsberrow and localities from the Rev. W. H. Purcuas 
and others. 
IV. Vale of Gloucester District very well worked. 
V. Vale of Berkeley, or Tortworth Avon District not well 
represented. Some information from near Dursley and help 
promised by H. Jenyer Fust, Esq., Junr. of Falfield, whom I 
hope to visit this summer. 
* Owing to a slight error of mine the boundary between districts VIII 
and IX will be modified; so we must ask for exact localities in the country 
between Tetbury, Boxwell, Oldbury, Didmarton and Shipton Moyne.
