The herbarium of the British Museum contains many Lancashire plants. Recently it has 

 been enriched by the purchase of Mr. W. H. Pearson's valuable and extensive collection of 

 Hepaticse. It would be impossible to enumerate all the local herbaria, although some are of 

 much value. The herbaria of Bicheno and Motley at Swansea contain plants found in Lanca- 

 shire, as stated in the Naturalist for November, 1902. There are very few plants of any value 

 in them, and some are more than doubtful. A few important plants are in the museum at York. 



The writer has left the most pleasant task for his last remarks. He 

 has received considerable help from several well-known botanists. First and 

 foremost, his most cordial and sincere thanks are due to Mr. J. A. Wheldon 

 of Liverpool for the loan of his papers, books with marginal and foot-notes, 

 for reading and correcting manuscript, and for useful suggestions, which have 

 always been done without the least delay. 



To Mr. Albert Wilson for his MS. of Lake Lancashire mosses, and for 

 help in other ways. To Mr. Arthur Bennett for a list of the Naidacese 

 and Characeas of the county, examples of which plants in his collection from 

 Lancashire are marked thus ! in this article ; also for help in other ways. To 

 Mr. E. C. Horrell for his help with Sphagna. To Mr. Symers M, Mac- 

 vicar for opinion on Hepaticae. To Mr. J. Cosmo-Melvill, M.A. (who 

 kindly searched in vain for further records of Algs), for much help in various 

 ways. To Professor Carr, M.A., etc., for the loan of books, and the use of his' 

 extensive library. To Mr. William West of Bradford. To the Rev. W.
