the most important of which are:— Additions to the Algi-c of

 Yorkshire, J. of Bot., vol. 27, 1889; Additions to the Fresh- 

 water Algre of West Yorkshire, Nat., Aug., 1891 ; Notes on the 

 Freshwater Alga,^ of the East Riding of Yorkshire, Nat., July,

 Turner; these were published prior to the 'Flora of West York- 

 shire,' and are:--Tiie Alg,^ of Strcnsall Common, Nat., Dec, 

 1S83; Notes on Freshwater Alg.x with descriptions of new 

 species, Nat, Feb., t886; Notes on Alga^ collected at Gormirc 

 and Thirkleby, Nat., Sept., 1887. In addition to the above 

 there is a paper which was published by George Norman in i860, 

 entitled 'List of Diatomace;^ occurring in the neighbourhood of 

 Hull,' Trans. Micr. Soc, vol. 8. Since the appearance of the 

 above papers a large amount of material has been collected and 

 examined from many parts of the county, with the result that the 

 number of species has been greatly increased, and a large 

 number of additional localities have been found for species 

 already recorded.

 and \i the mark 1 follows the locality we have also seen a 

 specimen from that locality. In all other cases the records are 

 entirely our own. 



We here express our indebtedness to all who have at any 

 time collected material for us, our thanks being especially due 

 to Mr. LI. J. Cocks for some most excellent gatherings from 

 Pilmoor, as well as various material from Harrogate, Knarcs-

 Beanland collected for us in certain parts of the East Riding, 

 Mr. I. H. Burkill \n the Scarborough district, Mr. W. Denison 

 Roebuck in Upper Swaledale, from Birkdale Tarn, etc., the Rev. 

 W. Fowler about Liversedge, etc., and Mr. J. J. Marshall about
