With regard to Botany we may observe that, during the past 
year, our member, Mr. T. R. A. Briggs, has discovered a rose in 
considerable quantity in hedges and thickets in the neighbourhood 
of Plymouth, which has been pronounced, by the author of the 
" Review of the British Roses," to be the Rosa collina of Jacquin : 
a plant not previously known as British. Mr. Briggs has also met 
with a remarkable violet near Plympton, which possesses characters 
intermediate between F. hirta and F. odorata, and may perhaps 
be a hybrid between these species. 
The Treasurer's Balance Sheet will be found in the next page. 
It has been thought advisable with this part of the Transactions 
to complete a volume ; and a Title-Page and Index are accordingly 
given. Future parts will be consecutively paged.
