ON THE FLORA OF SHETLAND. 
By William H. Beeby. 
LAST summer's work in Shetland completed the fifth year 
of my investigations there ; and I propose on the present 
occasion to give a rough resume of what has been done, as well 
as of the present state of our knowledge respecting the Flora of 
that distant and scattered county. 
The species observed growing there by myself number altogether 
about 365, every one of which is represented in my Shetland 
Herbarium, together with numerous varieties_, forms, and states. 
Besides these there are some 15 other species, dried examples of 
which have been seen, or which are sufficiently vouched for ; and
