1 I am indebted to Mr. John Ward, F.G-.S., Dr. W. Hind, F.GJ-.S., and to 

 Mr. John T. Stobbs, F.G-.S., for kindly submitting to me their plant-collections 

 from these groups ; to them my knowledge of the flora is almost entirely due. 

 I have also had sent to me some specimens collected by the late Dr. Garner, 

 which are contained in the collection of the Stoke-upon-Trent Museum.
