Woods of North-East Kent. 901 
In the present contribution a general account has been given of the 
vegetation found in the woodland areas. In a second paper it is proposed 
to deal in detail with some of the factors influencing the distribution. In 
this latter communication the whole of the results obtained will be fully- 
discussed. 
In conclusion, I wish to express my thanks to Professor Farmer, F.R.S., 
for his help and advice throughout the progress of this investigation. 
I also wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to the late John Rigden, 
Esq., for his kindness in permitting free access to the woods on his estate.
