350 Mr. Walker on the British Chalcidites. 



dance on Tresco, one of the Scilly islands, by Miss White of that 

 place. Mr. Woods has gathered Brassica Cheiranthus on the sands 

 near Penard Castle, near Swansea ; and Potamogeton plantagineus 

 exists in Sir J. E. Smith's herbarium, gathered by Mr. D. Turner, at 

 Diss, in Norfolk, and Dr. H. Thompson, in the south of Scotland. 

 In the herbarium of Dr. Johnston, of Berwick, is a specimen ob- 

 tained by Dr. R. D. Thompson in Ferny Rig marsh, Berwickshire, and 

 I possess a sample of it, gathered by myself in Bottisham fen, Cam- 

 bridgeshire. In all these cases the plant has been referred to a wrong 

 species, but was suspected to be distinct by Dr. R. D. Thompson. 

 I have lately gathered Atriplex rosea on the coasts of Holy Island 

 (Lindisfarn), Berwick, and the Forth near Newhaven, and Mr. 

 Borrer has sent it to me from the Sussex coast.
