  • Somerset County Herald ‘Local Notes and Queries’ by Paul Mansfield
    Somerset County Herald ‘Local Notes and Queries’ by Paul Mansfield July 5th 1919 A challenge to our readers. We have much pleasure in recommencing in this issue our column of Local Notes and Queries which proved such a popular feature of this paper for 20 years, but which we were compelled to discontinue for a time owing to difficulties created by the war. We are particularly anxious that this column should consist as far as possible of notes, queries and replies contributed by our readers themselves, and it will very largely depend upon the assistance we receive from them in this direction whether or not the feature shall be continued. It would of course, be an easy matter for us to get a column of such notes written up each week in our own offices, but this is not our purpose in reintroducing this feature in our paper. We want the column to be almost entirely our readers own column, and if they show by their contributions to it that they appreciate such a feature it will be a pleasure to us to help them in every way we can in making the column interesting and useful. If, on the other hand, the contributions we receive from our readers are so few and far between as to suggest that they take little or no interest in such a column, we shall very soon discontinue it, and insert some other feature in it’s place. We therefore invite any and all of our readers who are in any way interested in such matters to send us short interesting notes or queries on any of the following or kindred subjects relating to the district over which the paper

    * THE FLORA OF SOMERSET BY THE REV. R. P. MURRAY, M.A. VICAR OF SHAPVVICK, DORSET. FLORA OF SOMERSET. BOTANICAL DISTRICTS. r I iHESE are founded on the river basins, and are conse- -J- quently of very unequal size. The most important river in the county is undoubtedly the P arret, which, though it rises in Dorset, almost immediately enters Somerset, and drains all the country lying between the Polden and Quantock hills. This tract it has been found necessary to subdivide. The other chief rivers which belong wholly or in part to Somerset are the Exe, Barle, 'Devonshire' Axe, Brue, 'Somerset' Axe, and Avon. A small area in the south-east of the county is drained by streams flowing into the Stour. I. Dulverton District. —The extreme south-west por- tion of the county, drained by the rivers Exe and Barle, which have their sources among the elevated bogs of Exmoor. II. Minehead District.—All the country along the southern shore of the Bristol Channel, from Devon on the west to the mouth of the P arret on the east. A narrow tract, averaging six miles in width, very hilly, except in the extreme east. It is watered by a number of small streams, descending from Exmoor and from the Brendon and Quantock hills. III. Taunton District.—This comprises the country drained by the river Tone and by the small streams which, flowing from the south, empty themselves into the Parret below Langport. BOTANICAL DISTRICTS. iii IV. Ilminster and Yeovil District.—This district is drained by the upper waters of the Parret.
