ADDITIONS TO THE BOWLAND FLORA. 



JOSEPH F. PICKARD, 



Leeds. 



Since my article which appeared in the February number of 

 'The Naturalist' for 1901, I have spent four days in the district 

 of Bowland, at the beginning- of June of this present year, and 

 worked from Slaidburn to Whitewell and the boundary of the 

 area at Mitton. The critical species have been examined by 

 Mr. F. Arnold Lees, and I am indebted to Rev. W. Crombie, of 

 Newton, for various notes from his observations during the past 

 three years.
