 he has just completed, has divided the county into five districts. 

 It is proposed to make a separate collection for each district, even 

 of the commonest species, the specimens from one district being 

 fastened down on different sheets of paper from those from another 

 district ; thus each species will be represented by specimens on not 

 less than five sheets of paper. In addition to this, all those species 

 which are of sufficiently rare occurrence in Wiltshire to be deemed 

 worthy of having their localities recorded, will also, as far as possible, 

 be represented by specimens from each of the localities so mentioned. 

 In this way the same species will be represented by several specimens. 



Besides these two different sets of plants, the same species may 

 possibly be represented by several specimens, giving varieties, forms
