23+ Dr. Goodenough and Mr. Woodward'* Obfervatwns on 



been fupplied by feveral of our friends and correspondents, particu~ 

 Jarly by our worthy and accurate friend the Rev. Hugh Davies r 

 F. L. S. of Aber near Bangor, by whole affillance we have been 

 enabled to determine it to be our kali) ot mis. 



Mr. Hudfon was our chief guide in enumerating the fpecies. 

 But we could not follow him altogether. His having added no 

 descriptions to his equivocal plants, leaves us extremely in the dark 

 concerning his real determination. Thefe doubts, in confequence 

 of the lofs of his herbarium, cannot now be cleared up. Some 

 fpecies we know are not exifting. His F. filiformis mult be fuf- 

 pected to be our compreiTed variety of crifpus, only of a larger andh 

 more robuft form. His fimbriates is our fringed variety oi membrani— 

 f alius ; his filacers is merely fibrofus in a young flate, in which the 

 leaves are perfectly letaceous; his volubilis is a twifted variety of 

 vejiculofus - t the volubilis of Linnseus is not of Britifh growth : his 

 fhinatifidus and multifidus are one and the fame plant, named only 

 after the different forms it afTumes from the different accidents of 

 its growth and {ration; his ccrneus, pinnatus, and filicin us, are alfo 

 varieties only of one individual ; his cartilagineus appears, from his 

 quoting Buddie, evidently to be our coronopifilius r not the cartilagi- 

 neus of Linnaeus ; his furcellatus the lumbricalis of Gmelin, not the 

 real Linnean plant ; his mufcoides a variety of aculeates, with the 

 branches fomewhat round ; and his lanofus is the Conferva folymor- 

 pha.. Thefe two laft we have accordingly ftruck out of our lift 

 entirely. 



With all due deference to Major Velley and Dr. Withering, we 

 have omitted their F. elminthoides and defradlus, the fructification 

 appearing to us, from the few fpecimens which we have feen, to 

 be that of the genus Ulva. It is with much diffidence that we 

 diffent from them ; we Hatter ourfelves that we are all actuated 



by
