The herbarium of the British Museum contains many Lancashire plants. Recently it has been enriched by the purchase of Mr. W. H. Pearson's valuable and extensive collection of Hepaticæ. It would be impossible to enumerate all the local herbaria, although some are of much value. The herbaria of Bicheno and Motley at Swansea contain plants found in Lancashire, as stated in the Naturalist for November, 1902. There are very few plants of any value in them, and some are more than doubtful. A few important plants are in the museum at York.

The writer has left the most pleasant task for his last remarks. He has received considerable help from several well-known botanists. First and foremost, his most cordial and sincere thanks are due to Mr. J. A. Wheldon of Liverpool for the loan of his papers, books with marginal and foot-notes, for reading and correcting manuscript, and for useful suggestions, which have always been done without the least delay.

To Mr. Albert Wilson for his MS. of Lake Lancashire mosses, and for help in other ways. To Mr. Arthur Bennett for a list of the Naidaceæ and Characeæ of the county, examples of which plants in his collection from Lancashire are marked thus! in this article; also for help in other ways. To Mr. E. C. Horrell for his help with Sphagna. To Mr. Symers M, Macvicar for opinion on Hepaticæ. To Mr. J. Cosmo-Melvill, M.A. (who kindly searched in vain for further records of Algæ), for much help in various ways. To Professor Carr, M.A., etc., for the loan of books, and the use of his extensive library. To Mr. William West of Bradford. To the Rev. W. 41
