 FOR THE YEAR 1900. 



WILLIAM HODGSON, A.L.S., 



Workington ; Author of 'The Flora of Cumberland.' 



In the October issue of 'The Naturalist' for 1899 there appeared 

 some notes of mine in reference to additional county stations for 

 species of not very common occurrence in Cumberland, discovered 

 by Mr. W. Thomson, of Carlisle, and by him specimens were 

 passed on to me at Workington for verification. I have since 

 received, throug-h Mr. Thomson's courtesy, specimens of the 

 following-, among- other plants of more ordinary occurrence, and 

 I am g-lad to know that he has so zealously prosecuted his 

 researches on the subject of local botany, principally conducted in 

 his hours of leisure in the immediate neighbourhood of the city. 

 This catalog-iie includes the following", with the localities where 

 g-athered, viz. : — Ranunculus fliiitans, Mimulus luteus, and Apium 

 nodiflorum , river Cairn, near Heads Nook.
