recently discovered in Scotland by Mr. George Don. 337 
then I am enabled to have recourse to Nature herself; and I 
find the rachis is actually hairy, exactly in the peculiar manner 
of that of A. pratensis, the greater number of florets, being about 
double, constituting the only distinctive character of the caryo« 
phyllea; for its leaves are rough-edged, and scarcely less involute 
than those of pratensis. 
Such an occasional inaccuracy, in a science where such mul- 
tiplied observations are necessary, can by no means detract from 
the reputation of Mr. Bauer, or any other artist. His original 
discoveries, and frequent improvements upon other observers, 
place him far out of the reach of any depreciation. ‘The same 
‘may justly be said of the indefatigable Dr. Sibthorp, under 
whose inspection the drawing was made. Truth however renders 
my notice of the mistake indispensable.

Discovered in June 1807, in a marsli called the White Mire, 
one mile from Forfar. Mr. Don never noticed it any where else, 
nor have I ever before seen any other specimens than the Upsal 
one in Ehrhart's Calamarie; another sent by Dr. Swartz from 
Sweden, named “ A. stricta of Timm,” but not to be found in the 
Flora Megalopolitana ; and a third in the Linnean herbarium, laid 
into Agrostis, without a name, but with a Swedish inscription, 
signifying that “ it was found by Solander on the Lapland alps, 
in Westbothland and at Ljumkil, and is very different from
