period of the season at which the survey was made, it was only possible to 

 apply this test of frequency to a portion of the plants observed. 



The estimate of altitude affixed to many species, is chiefly based upon 

 single observations with a pocket aneroid, and can therefore be regarded as 

 approximative only. 



It may well be, that from the late period of the season at which this 

 exploration was made, some plants will be found to be omitted from the list, 

 and the distribution of others but imperfectly laid down from the same cause. 

 The application of the terms and figures descriptive of habitat, frequency, and 

 vertical range, must be regarded as for this district only.
