SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, 15s. NET , 



iVER a quarter of a century has passed since the 



V^/ last Flora of the County was issued, and as 

 that edition has long ago been out of print, and the 

 additions to the knowledge of the constituents of 

 the Flora have become so numerous, it is felt de- 

 sirable to bring the County Botany up to date. 



The book has been entirely re-written for the new 

 edition, and it is intended to make it not only a Cata- 

 logue of the County Species, with their localities, but 

 also a history of them, and of the Botanists connected 

 with the University and County. The Botanical 

 authorities from 1500 downwards, and the National 

 as well as the University and Private Herbaria have 

 been investigated. The Flo?*a will also contain 

 sketches of the Geology, River drainage, and General 

 Topography, and will include a list of Mosses, Fungi, 

 Lichens, kc. Localities from the contiguous area 

 of Berkshire will also be given.
