A NEW LONDON FLORA. 



The village of Aldbury is in a hollow of the range right, so that Aldbury 

 Nowers Hill stands out as a sort of promontory or headland, six or seven 

 hundred feet above the plain. The town of Tring, two miles from the 

 station in the opposite direction, lies at the foot of thickly-wooded slopes ; 

 near it, in the plain, are some large reservoirs, of which the borders are 

 in part marshy. The flora is varied and the locality still good, but, owing 

 to the rapacity of collectors, no longer so prolific as formerly. Subsoil, 

 chalk, or gravelly.
