Mr. Daniel Cooper read a Paper “ On the distribution of 
plants in Battersea Fields, Surrey, accompanied with a map 
or plan exhibiting, on the scale of two feet to the mile, the 
particular localities of the rarer species.” The following is 
an extract : — 
Battersea Fields is situated at a distance of about three 
miles from the principal bridges of the metropolis, in the pa- 
rish of Battersea, county of Surrey. 
This locality has been for years past famous for the pro- 
fuse supply of specimens it has yielded to the Botanist, to 
the Entomologist, and to the Conchologist. To the Botanist 
in particular, Battersea Fields offers an extensive field for re- 
search, and there is but little doubt that in years past, if we 
may ciedit such authonties as Martyn, Curtis, Merrett, and 
others, that it was a richer locality than it is even at the pre- 
sent tune ; it has also been for some time the general resort 
of simplers or herb-gatherers, for the supply of the London 
JANUARY 5tii.
