my obligations to my excellent friend Dr. William Bullar, of Southampton, who formerly resided several years at Poole; to my lamented friend, the late John Rowe, Esq., of Wimborne, and others for some of the nearer localities, and for many of the more distant, to Miss Maria Attersoll, of Weymonth, to Mrs. Mary Frampton, of Dorchester, to the Rev. A. Bloxam, who left at Mr. Commnins' library, a list of the plants he found during a visit to Weymouth, and to Mr. Commins, for his kindness in lending me the list.
I have availed myself also of the following works, "Pulteney's catalogue of the more rare plants of Dorsetshire;" "Turner and Dillwyn's Botanists' Guide;" "Watson's new Botanists' Guide;" and "Sheridan's Guide to the Isle of Wight,"—a large portion of the island lying within thirty miles of Poole.
For other information in the last named locality, I am indebted to the kindness of Dr. Bromfield, of Ryde, for the use of his MS. of a Flora of the Isle of Wight, which he is about shortly to publish.
