An Outline of the Flora of the Neighbourhood of Godalming, 

 in the County of Surrey ; with brief Notices of the Geo- 

 logical Features of the District. By J. D. SALMON, Esq. 



IN bringing the Flora of Godalming and its neighbourhood 

 before the notice of botanists, it is necessary that the limits of 

 the district should be clearly defined, and that the geological 

 features which present themselves should be noticed : for the 

 outline of the latter I have availed myself principally of Dr. 

 MantelTs Memoir in Brayley's ( History of Surrey.' 



Extent and Boundary. The tract of country about to be 

 illustrated is comprised within a square, the sides of which are

 of the town. 



The chalk ridge, well known as the Hog's Back, running east 

 and west, has been taken in part as the northern boundary ; a 

 narrow slip of London clay on the north side of this range, is, 

 however, included within the district, as affording an additional 

 variety of soil. From the abrupt termination of the Hog's Back 

 at Guildford, the northern boundary is continued along to Mer- 

 row Downs: from thence the eastern boundary passes by St. 

 Martha's Chapel, and crossing the valley of Chilworth by the 

 powder-mills, it skirts Blackheath to Shamley Green, is con-
