A HISTORY OF LANCASHIRE 



W. Mason for a MS. list of flowering plants from all the three vice-counties. 

 To Mr. C. Crossland for much help with fungi, and to Mr. J. A. Martindale 

 for help with lichens. 



N.B. — The writer wishes it to be clearly understood that the com- 

 monest of British flowering plants and mosses, including hepatics, are not 

 enumerated. This was unavoidable.
