14 FLORA OF THE LAKE DISTRICT. 



Rooke Collection of Botanical Drawings. Mr. Rooke was 

 an artist who lived at Whitehaven. He was fond of pedes- 

 trian rambles, and made sketches of every object that fell in 

 his way. His series of drawings of Lake plants, which were 

 executed with great fidelity, and are bound up in five or 

 six volumes, after his death were purchased by J. C. Brown, 

 Esq. of Hazel Holme, Whitehaven, in whose possession they 

 still remain. 



Miss Wilson's Collection of Botanical Drawings. Miss 

 Harriet Wilson has also made a large collection of water- 

 colour drawings of Lakeland plants, and kept careful note of 

 their stations. She kindly lent me her collection, and I have 

 often cited her localities for rarities.
