Abstract

(1) HIS little book gives a useful list of the flowering plants of Whitby and its neighbourhood, including notes on the interesting alien forms which there, as elsewhere on our coasts, are endeavouring, often with success, to become naturalised. It aims also at interesting the holiday visitor in the attractive flora of the district, about half of the book being devoted to excursions in search of wild flowers with the author as pleasantly helpful and gossipy as a leader of such excursions should be. The arrangement of the book is somewhat loose and rambling, and misprints are somewhat numerous and occasionally a little puzzling, such as “Schlerochia” for “Sclerochloa”.
