J. G. Baker and W. W. Newbould. Derbyshire. 

 Notes on the Flora of Matlock. Journ. of Bot., November, xxii. 334-344. 



This paper includes a voluminous series of observations which may be com- 

 pared with those on the flora of Buxton, published by Mr, Baker in the same 

 journal for January 1884. The author's remark that Derbyshire's position 

 and physical configuration are such as to show better than any other county 

 the blending of the flora of the North of England into that of the Midland 

 Counties. It is the county that shows best the widest range we get in any one 

 county of Watson's agrarian region, and is one which is capable of division 

 into unusually well-marked physical divisions. Of these there are three : 

 (i) the low country apart from the hills, (2) the limestone hills and valleys, 

 (3) the ridges and slopes of millstone grit.
