Bunbury to retain it for her life. He died 18th June, 1886. (C.BJ 

 He contributed 10 new plants to the County Flora. 



4th. Closely associated with Sir Charles by family ties and kin- 

 dred tastes was Lady Blake, wife of Sir Henry Blake, Bart. Her ex- 

 tensive Herbarium of British plants is now in the Ipswich Museum* 

 Many of its specimens were contributed by Sir C. Bunbury, Miss Har- 

 Tey, and other local botanists, and may fairly be regarded as a dupli- 

 cate of Sir Charles's British Collection. It adds 7 new plants to our 

 Flora. 



5th. An Herbarium kindly lent by the late Sir C. Bunbury, may 

 foe regarded as the result of the researches of the late Rev. S. Rickards, 

 Rector of Stowlangtoft, and was compiled by a member of his family. 

 It adds 3 plants to the Suffolk list. 



5th. The late Mrs. French, of Woolpit, shortly before her death, 

 gave her collection of British plants to the Editor. It has been speci- 

 ally useful, as being the only Herbarium in which the plants of the 

 extreme part of South-West Suffolk are represented. Mrs. F. added 

 12 new plants to our list. 



6th. The Herbarium of Miss Lathbury, of Bury St. Edmunds, con- 

 tains a fair number of Suffolk plants from a wide area. It was com- 

 piled by that lady and other members of her family. Its earliest Suf- 

 folk record is 1832, its latest 1859. It records 5 new plants for Suffolk. 



7th. A collection of 4 large volumes made by Mrs. Dunlap, of 

 Bardwell Rectory, and a portfolio of original drawings by her sister, 

 Mrs. Gibson, of Lound Rectory, contain a large proportion of Suffolk 

 specimens, of which four are earliest records for the County. 



8th. The Herbarium of Hitcham, compiled by the late Professor 

 Henslow for the instruction of his school children, now in Ipswich 

 Museum, and a parcel of plants gathered by those children, and kindly 

 -contributed by Professor C. C. Babington, have been found useful in 

 the preparation of this work. 



9th. Through the kindness of Mrs. Skepper, the Herbarium of her 

 late husband has been twice examined. Many of its plants were added 

 after the publication of the Flora of 1860.
