Uifl-e Plaiifs obferved in a Tour, titc. 235 



■dafled among the more rare produ<Stions of this kingdom ; unlefs, 

 .perhaps, in the genera of Lichen and Fucus, which we confulei'cd 

 ■as tribes fo little known in gcnei-al, that we thought we might be 

 exctried if we noticed all excepting the moft common. The pe- 

 culiar feafon of the year of coarfe prevented our meeting with 

 either Mufcly Jungermannia-y or Fungi. 



We have mentioned many habitats that were before quoted by 

 authors, but have been induced to do fo from a defire to ihew that 

 the plants ftill exifl in the fame places ; and we now fubiTHt the 

 fruits of our relcarches to the Linnean Society, flattering ourfelvcs 

 with the hope that they may hereafter prove ufeful to fome Bo- 

 tanift, whom chance or inclmation may lead to the fpots which 

 we V ill ted. 



HavtTjg premifed -this, it only reniains for us to ex'prefs the fenfe 

 we feel of the kind attention we received fron the cultivators of 

 Natural Kiftory in the places through which we paflTed, particu- 

 larly to Richard Bryer, Efq. of Weymouth, to the R«v. J. T. Thora" 

 fon, and William Penneck, Efq. of Penzance, to Thomas Webb 

 Dyer, and William Clayfield, Efqrs. of Briftol, and to Dr. Wil- 

 liams of Oxford ; to all of whom we are happy to own ourfelves 

 indebted, as well for repeated inftances of civility, as for the 

 trouble they took in pointing out to us the plants growing round 

 their feveral towns.
