CATALOGUES. 551 



printed "A Catalogue of the Flowering Plants and Ferns 

 growing wild in the Isle of Wight," intended " to serve as an 

 Index to the Herbarium of Dr. Bromfield." It is more than 

 this ; being in eleven pages a much truer list of Vectian plants, 

 than could be got from Bromfield's ponderous book of eight 

 hundred pages of close print, as the Flora of one little Isle ! In 

 Bromfield's verbose work, it took over fifty lines of close print 

 say, 500 words to record the occurrence of the common red 

 Poppy in the Isle of Wight. In More's Catalogue, that curious 

 fact is sufficiently announced by two words. 



Mr. James Motley. 



44. A Manuscript Flora of some portion of the county of 

 Carmarthen, chiefly (I believe) the neighbourhood of Llanelly. 

 This Flora was lent to me, and shortly claimed back, before 

 Mr. Motley's departure from Britain for Borneo. Notes had 

 been hurriedly taken from it, which are now quoted as " Motley 

 cat." without the chance of again referring to the Flora itself. 



Rev. W. W. Newbould. 



81. London Catalogue, edition third, checked for plants seen 

 in the county of Huntingdon ; the parts examined being chiefly 

 Somersham Soke, Holme Fen, and the neighbourhood of Gam- 

 lingay. 



30. Mr. Newbould also kindly checked the Bedfordshire 

 Monocotyledons in a London Catalogue, for use in the Second 

 Part of this work. His list, as not at all professing completeness, 

 is quoted along with various manuscript notes, in the form of 

 " Newbould ins." 



In various modes I have been assisted by Mr. Newbould, 

 while writing this and former works. Indeed, that gentleman's 

 ever readiness to take trouble on behalf of other botanists, is too 

 well known to need eulogy from my pen ; though it may be 

 allowable here to record an expression of my own grateful sense
