HISTORY OF THE COUNTY BOTANY OF WORCESTER. 
BY WM. MATHEWS, M.A. 
('Continued from page 143.) 
When I commenced my synopsis of the “ Botany of Wor¬ 
cestershire, ” by Mr. Edwin Lees (“ Midland Naturalist,” Vol. 
XIV., page 16), I designedly omitted many of the commoner 
species only recorded in the Table, and a few others also 
recorded in the Text. I now find it necessary to supply these 
omissions, and cannot do better than in this place. They 
are previous records in every case.
