 pi. 257.), was scarce, in a swampy place near West Spitchweek Park. The 

 Evi\i\\6vhia Paralias (pi. 3.) was in plenty, and also at Dawlish Warren. 

 This year I have raised, from the seed, A'uphorb/a portlandica (pi. 322.), 

 Helianthemum jpolifoiium, and Dianthus cae'sius, from Cheddar Cliff'.
