 In laying this Paper before the Society, I ought no doubt 

 to have limited my notes to botanical matter alone, but in 

 this I take rather the view of the man who is working in 

 the field, and who prefers to have his information so served 

 up to him that he has only to refer to one book, than that 

 of the worker in the city, who prefers to keep distinct each 

 branch of study. I have therefore to thank the Society for 

 tlieir great consideration and courtesy in accepting this 

 Paper without limiting its usefulness by restricting it to 

 botanical requirements alone.
