seen within five miles of Thirsk, in the vice-county of North-east 

 York A second series of marks distinguishes other plants found 

 elsewhere in the same vice-county, beyond the five-mile radius. 

 For these plants the catalogue is cited as " Baker cat. co." or 

 simply as "Baker ms." Mr. Baker's admirable work "North 

 Yorkshire ; Studies of its Botany, Qeoloyy, Climate and Physical 

 Qeography " is of later date, 1863, and embraces also the vice-

 most serviceable copy of the Supplement here under notice. It 

 would hardly be possible to over-estimate the botanical assist- 

 ance which my own writings have derived from Mr. Baker's 

 published works, manuscript notes, numerous specimens, &o.
