When, nearly six years since, I had the honour or reading to you 
the first paper presented to this Society on the division of the 
county into districts for botanical purposes, I did so with the hope 
of some day bringing before you a List of the Flowering Plants 
found in the county, showing their distribution throughout those 
districts. 
The first portion of this list, containing the Dicotyledonous 
Plants, I now present to you, thinking it undesirable to trouble 
you with the entire list, which would be so large as to require, 
should it be decided to publish it at once, a Supplement to our 
Transactions, and would entail unnecessary expense on our 
Society. 
As the four districts into which Norfolk is divided were fully 
described in the former paper, it is only necessary to summarise 
them very briefly. If on the map of Norfolk you draw two per- 
pendicular lines, one from Cromer passing through Norwich to a 
point a little east of Harleston, and the other from Braneaster 
through Swaffham, to a point a little west of Thetford, and then 
connect these two lines by a horizontal line joining Swaffham and 
Norwich, you will have the county divided into four districts, 
called respectively the eastern, western, northern-central, and 
southern-central districts, and indicated in the list by the letters 
e., w., nc., sc. 
In using purely arbitrary divisions like these, it must always be 
impossible to refer the mere record of a plant having been found 
in a given parish which lies on a boundary line exactly to its right
