FLORA OF DALMATIA, 87 
sum saxatile, Hyacinthus orientalis, Narcissus Tazetta, Ero- 
dium pimpinellifolium, Juniperus Oxycedrus, Picridium vulgare, 
Tria Bulbocodium, Anemone stellata and coronaria, Ulmus 
campestris, Senecio vulgaris, Veronica kederæfolia, Salix alba, 
Cardamine hirsuta, Thlaspi perfoliatum, Quercus Ilex, Draba 
verna, Amygdalus communis, Geranium malacoides, Sisymbrium 
vimineum, Ruscus aculeatus, Crocus variegatus (I may here 
mention that there are 4 species of Crocus in Dalmatia), 
Sazifraga tridactylites, Lithospermum arvense, Iris tuberosa, 
and Allium Chamemoly. The market is full of the finest 
vegetables, cultivated in the open ground. The cold weather 
has not injured the Olive, Citron, or Laurel trees; a proof of 
the severity they are able to bear: and for three weeks we 
have had the finest possible weather, no rain, constantly plea- 
sant, temperate winds, with the thermometer often rising at 
ten o’clock to 15° (not exposed to the wind). Phormium tenax 
(but not the Pelargoniums) has borne the winter well in the open 
air. I am preparing for a sea-voyage that I mean to under- 
take in six weeks to the Islands of Lissa and Belagosa, and to 
Albania, returning along the borders of Montenegro and 
Bosnia, where I hope to collect many new things. Last year 
M. Neumeyer found near Ragusa a new Astragalus, and M. 
Petter, in the vicinity of Spalatro, an undescribed Pastinaca, 
which will be noticed by Dr. Visiani. The other kingdoms 
of nature will not be forgotten. M. Neumeyer's collection of 
Dalmatian Reptiles equals in extent that of stuffed Birds and 
Fishes formed by the Baron Feldegg at Spalatro. Finally, 
we have succeeded in obtaining poten specimens of the 
Jackal, here called Wild Dog, one of them alive, for the Royal 
Cabinet of Natural History at Vienna.
