Shibden Dale is well watered by streams whicli issue rrom the high 

 lands situated at its head, aud by numerous small rills which are fed by 

 the oozing of water from the sides of the hills that enclose the valley. 

 A junction of two streams is formed at Colder's pit, and the beck is again 

 joined at Damhead by a stream flowing through tlie valley which lies 

 beliind-Bare head hill. After this it is continuous through the dale, being 

 occasionally interrupted for mill purposes. A gi-eat portion of the beck 

 is termed Eedbeck from the colour of the iron deposit appearing on its 

 bed. 



The following list of plants is drawn up entirely from personal 

 observation, and contains the common name, the scientific name, the 

 month of flowering, and the locality of each plant. Besides the plants 

 to be found in Shibden, many which grow in the adjacent districts are 

 included, thus rendering the list more comprehensive than was at first 

 intended. 



Botanists are invited te communicate important additions and note- 

 worthy corrections.
