APPENDIX A. 
An Outline of the Flora of the Neighbourhood of Godalming, 
in the County of Surrey ; with hrief Notices of the Geo- 
logical Featm-es of the District. Bj J. D. Salmon, Esq, 
In bringing the Flora of Godalming and its neighbourhood 
before the notice of botanists, it is necessary that the limits of 
the district should be clearly defined, and that the geological 
features which present themselves should be noticed : for the 
outline of the latter I have availed myself principally of Dr. 
Mantell's Memoir in Brayley's * History of Surrey.' 
Extent and Boundary. — The tract of country about to be 
illustrated is comprised within a square, the sides of which are 
about eight miles in extent, having Godalming for the centre ; 
every portion of the district is therefore within a moderate walk 
of the town. 
The chalk ridge, well known as the Hog's Back, running east 
and west, has been taken in part as the northern boundary ; a 
narrow slip of London clay on the north side of this range, is, 
however, included within the district, as affording an additional 
variety of soil. From the abrupt termination of the Hog's Back 
at Guildford, the northern boundary is continued along to Mer- 
row Downs : from thence the eastern boundary passes by St. 
Martha's Chapel, and crossing the valley of Chilworth by the 
powder-mills, it skirts Blackheath to Shamley Green, is con- 
tinued across the Wey and Arun canal to the junction of the
