536 CATALOGUES. 



seen within five miles of Thirsk, in the vice-county of North-east 

 York A second series of marks distinguishes other plants found 

 elsewhere in the same vice-county, beyond the five-mile radius. 

 For these plants the catalogue is cited as " Baker cat. co." or 

 simply as " Baker ms." Mr. Baker's admirable work " North 

 Yorkshire ; Studies of its Botany, (reolof/;/, Climate and Physical 

 Geography " is of later date, 1863, and embraces also the vice-

 ance which my own writings have derived from Mr. Baker's 

 published works, manuscript notes, numerous specimens, &c.
