18 MISC. PUBLICATION 797, U. S. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE 
ing 25, 12 are completely covered by the regional floras by Dickie, 
Praeger, and Stewart and Corry, and 2 more are comprehended 
in Dickie’s work except for their extreme southern part. Eleven 
counties (Carlow, Kildare, Kilkenny, Laoighis (Queen’s), Long- 
ford, Louth, Meath, Offaly (King’s), Tipperary, Waterford, and 
Wexford) have no county or regional floras, but all the known 
species of each are recorded by Praeger (1934). Of the 32 
counties, local publications in one form or another are cited for 
all but 10 (Carlow, Kilkenny, Laoighis, Londonderry, Louth, 
Meath, Monaghan, Offaly, Tyrone, and Wicklow) ; 4 of these are 
covered by county or regional floras, 6 (Carlow, Kilkenny, 
Laoighis, Louth, Meath, Offaly), are not. Of 66 primary titles 
cited, 20 are general (including partial), 9 county, and 37 local; 
and there are 67 subsidiary titles, making a total of 133. 
Isle of Man.—The Isle of Man, with an area of 569 square 
kilometers (220 square miles) has a flora of 721 species (Paton, 
1933). Of 3 primary titles cited, 2 are general and 1 local; and 
there are 6 subsidiary titles, making a total of 9. 
Scotland._Scotland, with an area of 78,749 square kilometers 
(30,405 square miles), has a flora of 1,451 species (author’s count, 
based on Druce’s Comital flora; includes the bracketed records). 
There is no modern flora of the country, which is completely 
covered by the general British floras. There are general works 
on Gaelic and old Scottish vernacular names, two long series of 
papers on local distribution, some partial floras, and a few minor 
works. Of the 35 geographical divisions here adopted (not pre- 
cisely corresponding to the number of counties (33), since the 
Inner and Outer Hebrides, which are made up of parts of three 
counties are treatd as two entities), there are individual county 
floras for 15, 9 others are included in joint floras dealing with 
more than one county; and 1 (Sutherland) is fairly covered by 
floras of its East and West vice-counties. Of the 10 remaining 
divisions, 3 (East, Mid, and West Lothian) are treated in Mar- 
tin’s Field-Club flora of the Lothians, but not as county units; 
the 7 remaining divisions (Argyll, Bute, Dunbarton, Inner 
Hebrides, Inverness, Nairn, Ross and Cromarty) are not dealt 
with in detail in any county flora, but most of them are included 
in Ewing’s Glasgow catalogue or Lee’s Flora of the Clyde area. 
Of the 25 possessing county floras (of which 9 are covered by 5 
joint floras), 6 date from 1831 to 1864, 10 from 1879 to 1900, 5 
from 1912 to 1925, and 4 from 1936 to 1941. Of 132 primary 
titles cited, 13 are general or partial, 30 county, and 89 local; 
and there are 143 subsidiary titles, making a total of 275. 
Wales.—Wales, with an area of 20,761 square kilometers (8,016 
square miles), has a flora of 1,606 species (Hyde and Wade, 1934 
and 1954, plus the fern allies). There is no modern descriptive 
flora except for the ferns, but there are good lists with distribu- 
tion data of both seed plants and fern (the fern allies not 
covered), and an old local flora with Welsh vernacular names 
(another list of Welsh names will be found under Diamond in 
Shropshire), as well as a work on native and cultivated trees. 
Of the 12 counties, all but 4 (Flint, Merioneth, Montgomery, and
