574 baker's north Yorkshire. 
The entire list of the species of Europe are given as 50, 
according- to Warnstorf's system, with a very great number 
of varieties in some of the more widely spread species, with 
a short diagnosis of each. 
Braithwaite's monograph is the first in the list, and many 
of the varieties included in the monograph are given specific 
claims. 
20 species only are given by Braithwaite, in which several 
varieties are included. 
Since the publication of Dr. Braithwaite's monograph in 
i88o, several students of these interesting plants have been 
working at them, and by their kind aid I have been able 
to enumerate 29 species of Sphagnums that have been 
discovered in North Yorkshire, as well as numerous varieties 
to some of the most widely distributed species.
