AND NEIGHBOURHOOD.

President of the Dewsbury Naturalists' Society, 



Member of the Botanical Record Club, etc. 



When the observations enumerated in the 'Flora of Dewsbury' 

 first appeared, they were completed (excepting those by W. 

 Rushforth, inadvertently omitted) to the end of 1886, the 

 writer never suspecting he would be able to make so many 

 additions during the following year. 



Diligent searching, however, in nooks and corners not 

 investigated before, and perhaps a closer scrutiny of old ground 

 at different periods of the year, coupled with several more 

 records by other ol^servers (and a number mostly of old date 

 for localities embraced in the Dewsbury district, taken from 

 'The Flora of AN'est Yorkshire' by Mr. F. Arnold Lees, pub. 

 1888) have, it will be seen, considerably augmented the fust list. 

 Some additional plant-localities in the district have also 

 been noted, the following named being for the rarer species 

 only : — 

 177. Polygala vulgaris. Meadowbank,Birkenshaw(i888), 



with white flowers and the true plant. 

 411. Prunus cerasus. ' Battye-ford, near Mirfield ; H. F.
