ADDITIONAL NOTES TO THE FLORA OF DERBYSHIRE. 



Rev. W. H. PAINTER, 

 Stirchley Rectory, near Shifnal, Corresponding Member of the Birmingham Natural 

 History and Philosophical Society, and of the Birmingham Microscopists' 

 and Naturalists' Union. 



My attention has been recently called to several errors in ' The 

 Supplement to the Derbyshire Flora,' which appeared in this 

 magazine in 1899, For some of which my correspondents are 

 responsible, whilst the blame for others attaches to myself. 



These errors I wish to correct in the following- pages ; and 

 whilst doing - this I will add to the records which have been 

 already given, thus bringing the records of the Derbyshire Flora 

 down to the present year. 



These records, it will be seen, have been almost, if not 

 entirely, drawn from the Reports of the Exchange Club for the 

 British Isles, the Watson Exchange Club, and the Moss 

 Exchange Club ; and therefore it will be understood that those 

 Reports are answerable for any inaccuracies that may be dis- 

 covered later on respecting the habitats given for Phasnogamous 

 Plants and Mosses. 



In the ' Supplement ' before mentioned some sources of in- 

 formation were unfortunately not acknowledged. 'The Natural 

 History of Tutbury,' which contains an account of the Mosses 

 of South Derbyshire, should have been mentioned, though I have 

 not had an opportunity of consulting it. The 'Naturalist' for 

 1886, which contains Mr. Whitehead's original list of North 

 Derbyshire Mosses, should also have been mentioned, as well 

 as the kindness of the Revs. R. C. Bindley, M.A. , and A. Ley, 

 M.A. , in furnishing me with Lists of the Mosses seen by them 

 in the county. 



I desire to point out that l J. W. in Whitehead ' represents 

 in every case Mr. Whitehead himself. 



A few localities have been given me as being in Derbyshire 

 which are in other counties ; e.g., Shireoaks (Supp., p. 200, etc.) 

 is in Nottinghamshire; whilst Woodville (lb., p. 179) and R. 

 Dove, Uttoxeter (lb., p. 192) are in Staffordshire.
