Natm^al History in the English Counties. 



The foregoing list is chiefly taken from a little work lately published at

 with a Short Account of the Natural History of Charnwood Forest ; " 

 with some additional plants lately discovered by myself. — Andrew Bloxam.

Early-Jlowering Plants growing in the Neighbourhood of Richmond. — Sir, I 

 have found many of the plants mentioned in the following list earlier j but 

 as these were generally solitary specimens, peculiarly situated, I have given 

 their usual time of coming into flower. I have selected the same plants, 

 with one or two exceptions, which your correspondent, Mr. George Banks, 

 has, with a view to their more easy comparison. I am. Sir, &c. — L. E. O.

 that the following list of some of the rarer plants that I have met with in
