This Catalogue contains upwards of three hundred and twenty distinct species and varieties 

 of grass, of which, one hundred and fifty are indigenous to Great Britain • hut as the discove- 

 ries of Botanists still continue to add to the numher new species and varietie's, the term compkU 

 cannot be applied to this enumeration. 



As every different soil produces grasses peculiar to itself, and as no other kinds can be esta- 

 bhshed or cultivated upon it, without first changing its nature to resexnhle that which produced 

 the lands of gras.es we wish to introduce ; it becomes a point of the first importance, in making 



expenments on difi^rent species of this numerous familv of t.1ov.+ t • i Uc to
