IO FLORA OF THE LAKE DISTRICT. 



1805, contains a list of plants drawn up by the Rev. W. 

 Richardson of Dacre. He seems to have derived a good 

 deal of his information from a Keswick guide of the name of 

 Hutton. Neither Richardson nor Hutton had the knowledge 

 needful for the task they undertook, and this list, although 

 perhaps it may give a useful hint sometimes to a resident 

 explorer, is so inaccurate and untrustworthy that I have 

 scarcely ever cited it. 



1805. Dawson Turner and Dillwyn. 'The Botanist's 

 Guide through England and Wales ' contains a long catalogue 

 of both flowering plants and cryptogamia for both counties, 

 — for Cumberland at p. 143, and for Westmoreland at p. 638. 

 The principal contributors of new localities are Turner 

 himself, the Rev. John Dodd of Wigton, the Rev. W. 

 Wood of Whitehaven, the Rev. J. Harriman of Eglestone, 

 and Messrs. Jos. Woods of London and T. Gough of 

 Kendal. 



1818. Otley, Jonathan. In this year was published the 

 first edition of Otley's well-known guide-book, which contains 

 the first good map of the Lake hills, and on which the later 

 guide-books are all more or less founded. Otley worked out 

 a few fresh plant stations, and though, like Wilson, a self- 

 taught man in humble circumstances, he did a great deal 

 for the investigation of the geology and physical geography 

 of the district. 



1824. Winch, N. J., contributed to the 'Newcastle Maga- 

 zine' in 1824 (vol. iii. pp. 494, 530, and 575) a list of the 

 plants of Cumberland and their localities, which was reprinted 

 as a separate work in 4to in 1833. Winch was a capital 

 botanist, and the author of an excellent ' Botanist's Guide 

 through the Counties of Northumberland and Durham,' pub- 

 lished at Newcastle, in two volumes 8vo, in 1805-1807. The 

 younger De Candolle named after him the genus Winchia in 

 Apocynacece. 



1832. 'Annals of Kendal,' by C. Nicholson, contains,
