Alpine Flora."

 u Hints and Notes for Travellers in the Alps," being the 



General Introduction to Ball's Alpine Guide. 

 They have all been freely referred to in the preparation 

 of the accompanying notes. 



Wherever possible the common name of each plant in 

 English, French, and German has been given on the corre- 

 sponding plate. It is hoped that this may be of use to the 

 reader. 



In conclusion I would like to thank the publishers for 

 the great trouble they have taken in the preparation of the 

 plates, and Mr Howard Farmer, of the Polytechnic School 

 of Photography, for much valuable advice.
