160 THE RARER PLANTS OF WALKERINGHAM NEIGHBOURHOOD. 
in the order, and with the nomenclature of the eighth edition of the 
London Catalogue. As the author says he followed Sir James Smith’s 
English Flora there can be no fear of making mistakes by using the 
now more generally received generic and specific names. All notes 
not in the original are added in brackets and initialed, with the 
exception of the name of the county. When I myself have seen the 
plants growing, or specimens from the locality, or within a mile 
radius-—if within the county referred to—I have added the personal 
mark (!) of verification. If specimens from the exact spot named are 
lying in the Lincolnshire County Herbarium, 1 have indicated the 
fact by a dagger (t). Those from the Walkeringham neighbourhood 
are for the most part from two Herbaria. A small collection made by 
the late Mrs. Maria Gamson, of Misterton, Notts, a friend of Mr. Miller’s, 
and kindly given to me by Miss mM sie Gamson; Der siatgntens and from 
another practic: ally rly life as he worked 
along with the Vicar of Walkeringham, by the Rev. “Thomas Owston, 
at that time Curate of Gringley-on-the-Hill, Notts, and late Rector 
of Sutterby, Lincolnshire. These plants were presented to me by 
the Rev. G. G. Walker, Vicar of Huttoft, Lincolnshire, to whom my 
best thanks are due. Of Mr. Miller’s own plants, referred to under 
Spiranthes, 1 can learn nothing. For ‘first record’ purposes this 
catalogue dates from 1840, Later notes of localities are rarely added 
in quite a different ink, but always in Mr. Miller’s own handwriting, 
and for the purpose of confirming earlier records. 
The following is an explanation of the initials used :-——F.E., Rev. 
Francis Hewgill, at that time Rector of Saundby—a great friend of 
the writer’s ; T.O., or sometimes Mr. Owston, the Curate of Gringley 
referred to abowes S.M., Mrs. Susan Miller, the wife, and Misses 
Susanna A, and Mary Stewart Miller, the daughters, and John 
Joseph and Thomas Elton, the sons of Mr. Miller. 
_ I have to thank Mr. George Miller, of Holcombe, Bath, for the — 
use of his manuscripts and for all kinds of information incidental to 
its publication; the Rey. W. A. Rouse, the present Vicar of 
Walkeringham, Mr. E. P. Watson, of Londonthorpe, Grantham, 
and Mr. C. Tonge, of Kirton-in-Lindsey, for the topographical notes — 
which have made it possible for me to identify many of the spots named-
