CATALOGUES. 541 



Localiites are given for several of the rarer plants ; some of them 

 being so indicated for Surrey only. All others are assumed to 

 occur in the vice-county of East Sussex. 



19, 25 26. Manuscript " Catalogue of plants observed near 

 Dedham, in the counties of Essex and Suffolk." No date, but 

 probably made in 1837. Here also a series of localities for the 

 rarer species is appended to the general list. These special 

 details enable me to place the plants under their respective 

 counties ; but I have still been at fault with regard to several of 

 the Suffolk plants, whether to treat them as belonging to East 

 Suffolk or to West Suffolk. For instance, under Corydalis clavi- 

 culata, the entry of " Suff. west. Coleman ms." probably ought 

 to have run thus instead " Suff. east. Coleman ms." It may 

 be observed, that the idea of equalizing the counties somewhat 

 better, by subdividing the larger of them into two or more vice- 

 counties, was not acted upon until after the date of Mr. Coleman's 

 manuscript lists. 



20. Manuscript " Catalogue of plants observed near Hert- 

 ford "...." a circle of five miles round the town "... "during 

 1838 and 1839." It was a forerunner of the Flora of Hertford, 

 the joint work of Webb and Coleman. This was a well worked 

 out Flora, with one great defect such as we could never have 

 anticipated from Coleman, who really did possess sound ideas on 

 the requirements of science and facilities for its references ; 

 namely, the quoting of three dozen correspondents by initials 

 instead of names. See further on this subject under " Varenne." 



55. London Catalogue, edition second, checked for plants seen 

 in the neighbourhood of Ashby-de-la-Zouch, in the county of 

 Leicester, either within the distance of three miles, or beyond 

 three and within seven miles. Through an accident, this Cata- 

 logue is less cited than it might have been otherwise. In her 

 Flora of Leicestershire, Miss Mary Kirby had the efficient aid of 

 three clerical botanists well qualified by their local and general 

 knowledge of British botany, namely, the Reverends Bloxam, 

 Coleman, and Churchill Babiugton.
