As to these records, I am in doubt. I have visited most of 
the places named without being able to detect the plant; and, as 
the parcel containing the genus Primula appears to be missing 
from Hind’s Herbarium in the Ipswich Museum, it is impossible 
to obtain definite evidence upon the subject by reference to his 
specimens. If the records in question, or any of them, really 
relate to the True Oxlip of Jacquin, the existence of numerous 
detached and outlying localities is established, for the district 
is certainly what I am accustomed to speak of as “ Primrose- 
Country." It may be that such outlying localities do occur 
and would be found if greater search than I was able to under- 
take were made; for, in a wood known as “The Thicks,” at 
Great Livermere (which is within the district covered by these 
records), I was surprised to observe a small patch of plants 
Which were unquestionably of the True species, though Primroses 
were growing all around. This locality lies five miles and a balf 
north from the nearest point of the boundary of the Oxlip-Area*. 
_ A second outlying locality for the True Oxlip is to be found 
m Norfolk, namely, on a boggy spot on the side of the Mudholes 
Hill at Diekleburgh, whieh is at a distance of about 16 miles 
north-east by north from the nearest point of the true Oxlip- 
Area, Uudoubted plants from this locality have been sent to 
Dé mn a fresh state by Miss A. R. Smith, of Dickleburgh, who 
eid the plant there some years ago, and who says that it 
plants when a to grow there for at least half a century. The 
sine » Which have always been small, appear to be decreasing in 
zT. The Rev, Kirby Trimmer, in the * Supplement to the
