-Rainfall for September. 



Of these eleven, Nos. 2, 3, 6, and 10 are dysfjeogenous strata. 



Nos. 1, 5, 9, and 11 are suh-dysgeogenous strata. 

 Nos. 4, 7, and 8 are typically eu-geogenom. 



The basaltic upheaval at the extreme north-west corner furnishes a 

 few distinctive plants. The soil would class as belonging to the sub- 

 dys-geogenous rocks, and the area might be marked by a deep red lines 

 or dot-shading in the north-west, where it occurs. 



The narrow strip of old red Devonian strata which crop up in 

 Kawthey-dale are of no importance botanically, but might be marked 

 upon our map as a bright brown zigzag line, if wished. 



In conclusion, I would say, if it is permissible, let it not be forgotten 

 that the great want to be met by our map is to supply the less learned 

 or wealthy amongst us with something that, every time they use it, 

 will be to them a lesson in scientific botany, by suggesting to them an 

 association, a relation between the plants they may find on any spot, 

 and those broader climatic and geologic facts upon which their 

 presence depends.
