THE FLORA OF WARWICKSHIRE. 
155 
various parts of Warwickshire, and records from the her¬ 
barium of the late Miss Townsend, of Honington Hall. 
Another very interesting communication has been sent 
to me by my esteemed friend, Mr. G. C. Druce, M.A. 
This is an old note-book of William Baxter’s, A.L.S., 
and on the first page of this is the following inscription : 
—“ List of plants growing wild within three miles of 
Rugby, observed during a fortnight’s visit to that town 
between the 26th of June and the 14tli July, 1831.” 
This consists of eighty-five pages of notes made in that 
part of Warwickshire immediately surrounding Rugby, and is 
valuable as giving first records of many of our common 
plants, these being in each case indicated by the date 1831 
following the locality; and also as a record of many plants 
then common that are now either very rare or absent from 
the localities there given, railway workings and other 
improvements having materially altered many of the wilder 
features of that neighbourhood. 
I am also indebted to other botanists for notes from 
various localities, such as Mr. Bolton King, M.A., Henry 
Bromwich, Miss Carril Airy, of Solihull, and others whose 
names are given ; together with further notes of my own. 
My own notes will be found to relate more particularly to the 
mosses and hepatics, to which plants I have been giving 
more especial attention during the time that has elapsed since 
the publication of the “ Flora.” In the course of the following 
notes attention will be called to one or two errors or omissions 
in the “ Flora ” that escaped my notice when that work was 
going through the press.
