NOTES ON DARTMOOR BORDER RUBI 313 
I cannot, of course, pretend to give an exhaustive account of 
the Rubi to be found on Dartmoor and its very extensive outskirts. 
But I have tried to “ mace” the prevailing bramble bushes on 
all sides of the moor, and have made my way up several of its 
ors. In my last visit I also had no pierce help from my 
son (“F. A. R.”’) and my daughter (‘ M. A. R.” — were able to 
bring me fresh specimens from localities beyond my r ;

re it best to exclude rhe this paper all records of com- 
paratively early date, except where I have been able to satisfy 
' myself of their accuracy by an examination of fairly representative 
specimens. 
It is perhaps a sufficient explanation of the order in which the 
localities are given to state that their range is from Great Haldon 
and Hey Tor at the north-east end eat be moor, westward vad 
Plymouth, towards ‘Ashburton and Hey 1 Tor. Most of this ground 
belongs to the Walseaian ni county 3 (S. Devon) ; pe a small 
portion of it, on the west, extending across the border into 
. Devon (v.-c. 4), in the Okehampton ‘and Bridestowe neighbour- 
ods. It has seemed most convenient to put all the S. Devon 
localities together ae the figure ‘‘3,” leaving the rest to follow 
after the figure An asterisk is attached to the figure for 
such forms as are Snsidersl to be ‘‘new records” for the vice- 
county. 
As regards height above sea-level, ‘very few localities are 
given—and those almost exclusively from the Teign Valley and 
the immediate neighbourhood of Plymouth—below 400 ft., while
