moister climate of the west, and this is at least to some extent 
the case with Thalictrum minus. The preponderance of species 
however is in the east or agrarial portion of the island. Adonis, 
Myosurus, and Delphinium are confined to the eastern half of 
England. In other situations, as the learned author of ‘Cybele 
Britannica’ states, they are only to be regarded as stragglers: in 
the south-east of England they are apparently well established. 
The Anemones, except A. nemorosa, and also Ranunculus Lingua, 
are chiefly found in the east of England; we suspect that the 
east of England is the centre of R. Lingua. The south of Eng- 
-land is the home of Clematis Vitalba ; for though it has been seen 
in North Wales, yet in a place or places where it probably was 
planted. The Trent and the Humber are believed to be its 
northern limitations. From its scarcity in Wales we are inclined 
to refer it rather to the Germanic than to the English type of 
distribution.

In 1835, the author of the new ‘ Botanist’s Guide’ remarks, 
p- 274, vol. i., that “no county in England offers a finer field for 
a local flora than does Yorkshire ;’’ and adds, “it is not a little. 
remarkable that none should yet exist.’ This desideratum is 
now amply supplied: first, by Baines’s Yorkshire Flora, pub- 
lished in 1840, and now by the, it may be presumed, more accu- 
rate one published as above, and containing “a complete list of 
the Flowering Plants, Ferns, and Mosses known, or reported, to 
grow wild within the limits of the county, so far as they have 
been ascertained by those who have contributed towards it, at 
the close of 1858. The author states further, that he has wished 
“‘that the ‘Supplement,’ either taken alone or in connection with 
the ‘ Flora,’ might furnish a summary of the higher vegetation 
of the county, so far as it has been ascertained,” etc. In order 
to carry out this intention, “a line or more is devoted to each 
species which the county is ascertained or reported to afford ; but
