Early in 1914 it was decided to publish, by subscription, my 
“Vegetation of Yorkshire,’ from the historic and chronological 
purview, and some thousand or more circulars were broadcasted 
among the county families and those known to be in sympathy with 
botanical investigation and record. Some ninety responded, when 
the outbreak of war ‘ hung up’ what the writer feels to be his ‘ mag-_ 
num’ and doubtless final ‘opus’; the great scope of the inquiry 
meriting—in the writer’s opinion—that title. 
I-fforts recently renewed have added another ten subscriptions, 
but this is not enough by quite a hundred to warrant the publishers 
in commencing to print the work. A substantial guarantee—not 
necessarily irom one friend—of {100 is suggested by the publishers 
in consultation with Mr. Thomas Sheppard, of the Hull Museum. 
Anyone feeling in any degree interested in seeing the book a work 
accomplished, will perhaps communicate with
