NOTES ON THE REV. W. FOWLER'S LIST OF 
LINCOLNSHIRE LIMESTONE PLANTS 
(See ‘ Naturalist,’ June 1890, p. 169). 
J.7 BURIE DAVY, 
flon. Sec. Alford Naturalists’ Society, Alford, Lincs. 
As some of the plants for which stations are given in Mr. Fowler’s 
list have also been found in the Alford district of North Lincolnshire, 
a few notes upon them may not be out of place at this time, nor 
devoid of interest to those readers of ‘The Naturalist’ who may be 
engaged in investigating the Flora of the county. To these are 
appended a few notes on some of the plants included in Mr. Fowler's 
five other Lincolnshire lists, together with one or two records from 
outside the Alford district. 
The records in these notes which have the mark ! affixed, have 
been verified as to specific determination by Mr. F. Arnold Lees.
