tain about nine hundred and ten fpecies*, exclufive of the Crypto-

I have travelled over, and fcrutinized, at different times, the greater 

 part of the county; and the part which is celebrated for the more 

 rare plants, that is, Ingleborough Hill, and its neighbourhood, 

 has been vifited by almoft all the curious botanifts of the lafl: and 

 prefent age; notwithftanding, many plants may yet remain un- 

 difcovered, as it is well known by every pra6tical botanift, that the 

 more rare ones are extremely local, and of courfe are frequently over- 

 looked by the moft accurate obfervers. In fa6t, the botanizing of 

 mountains is a laborious bufinefs; and they can only be minutely 

 examined by perfons who are nearly refident, as their vifits iliould 

 be frequent, and at all feafons of the year. 



The learned Dr. Goodenough having, in his excellent paper on 

 the Britifli fpecies of Carex^ changed fome of their trivial names, and 

 added fome new fpecies, it was prefumed it would be the moft eligible 

 to iiifert in this paper, with the Do6lor's names, the whole of thofe 

 which we have met with in the county, although the greater part 

 of them are contained in my other paper : the fame kind of repe- 

 tition is likewife made in the Pclytricha, having now adopted the 

 names of the ingenious Mr. Menzies in that genus.
