BEING PART I OF NOTES FOR A FUTURE CRYPTOGAMIC 
FLORA OF LINCOLNSHIRE. 
Compitep sy J. LARDER, 
Louth, Lincolushire ; Crvplogamic Secretary, Lincolushiie Naturalists’ Union. 
Tue following list, compiled from the ‘ Locality Register’ of the 
Lincolnshire Naturalists’ Union, is the first of a series to show 
what records have been made in cryptogamic botany up to the 
present time. The last list published was that contained in 
White’s Directory of the County, 1892, drawn up by Mr. F. 
Arnold Lees, M.R.C.S. As several additional ‘locality records’ 
since then, and some fresh records of species, have been added 
to the list, the publication of a complete list of the cryptogamia 
in a concise form will be found of use to those who are interested 
in this branch of botany. 
Those who have paid attention to 
this branch of botany are’ the following :—Mr. 
Miss S. Allett, Mr. A. Carr, Mr. B. Crow, Mr. J...B. 
(who commenced the compilation of this county list), 
Allen, 
Davy 
Rev. 
W. Fowler, M.A., Mr. F. A. Lees, M.R.C.S. (whose researches 
sixteen years ago Supply material for the best half of the entire 
Moss list), Rev. W. W. Mason, Dr. H. F. Parsons, Rev. E. 
A. W. Peacock, Mr. H. W. Saree Rev. A. Thornley,
