Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Essex Naturalist, Vol. 5: Being the Journal of the Essex Field Club, January-December, 1891
The other lists I have prepared from a thorough examination of the specimens in his extensive herbarium (so far as they relate to the county of Essex) and also from the copious notes in his own neat hand-writing in the text-books he used. In numbers of cases two or more gatherings of the same species were made in the same locality at different dates but I have not considered it needful to give more than one of these, and that always the earliest. The number of cryptogams now recorded is as follows Mosses, 160 species and'1o varieties; Hepaticae, 22 species; Lichens, 208 Species and 141 varieties and forms2 Fungi, 136 species; Seaweeds, 36 species Fresh-water Algae, _129 species amounting in all to 842.
