myself. For the last three years I have been unable to do as much 

 ;is 1 could wish, and this must be the excuse for the meagreness of 

 the collection, and also for the large proportion of plants being* from 

 division IV. Those for division I. have also been collected by 

 myself, as Marlborough is just near enough to the northern boundary 

 of that division to enable me to collect there occasionally. 



The Herbarium is still unfit to be considered in any way a county 

 Herbarium, and I should therefore thankfully acknowledge the re- 

 ceipt of any contributions to it. It is clearly impossible for one 

 person to do all this work of collecting, and as will be seen from the 

 subjoined Table, some districts are very poorly represented, if indeed 

 they can be considered to be represented at all.

It will be seen that the same species is sometimes represented in 

 more than one division, I shall be happy to send a marked list to 

 anyone who may feel inclined to assist : but still it may be interesting 



to know some of the more important species which are not at all 

 represented : —
