 IMMEDIATE VICINITY. 



[By R. M. Johnston, F.S.S.] 

 Read August Uth, 1903. 



The following is a classified list of 

 plants collected within the limits of the 

 township of Kettering in the month of 

 November, 1901. The greater part of the 

 shrubs and herbs were in flower, and the 

 collection, although far from complete, 

 may be regarded as speeiaMy representing 

 Hke characteristic flora of this beautiful 

 seaside locality. 



It is hoped that the publication of this 

 list of the characteristic plants of Ketter- 

 ing will induce lovers of botany elsewhere 

 to prepare similar lists, and thus extend 

 our knowledge of the distribution of the 

 irrteresting flora of this island.
