Harwich:

Volume 114 of the Sloane Herbarium is volume I of Herbarium Yivum Plantarum.,Britan- 

 nicarum a Dno. Adamo Buddie confectum (Dandy, 1958 : 102-108). It is possible that the specimen 

 of Padina pavonica from Harwich (Plate 1A) in this volume was collected from the drift, although 

 plants of this species usually disintegrate in situ', the specimen is in a good state of preservation and 

 could not have been floating for long. In any case, Dale's record is strong evidence that the Buddie 

 specimen was not drift. The work by Taylor & Dale fortunately includes a plate (Tab. II, facing 

 p. 18; reproduced here as Plate IB) that shows the position of the Cliff and Cliff Stones, just south 

 of the town of Harwich as it then was. This probably corresponds to the position of the shore rocks 

 still present below the Tower Hill lighthouse in the modern Harwich Harbour. 



Kent 



Margate: 



Rev. G. R. Leathes (HAMU); also MS note by D. Turner. 



S.W.W. in Herb. J. McNab (1810-1878) (DBN). 



No. A415, no other data (UCNW). 



Smith, Sowerby & Johnson (1846 : 47), frequent on south coast, in calm rock pools exposed 



at low water, '. . . at Margate, Dover, and other places along the shores of Kent and 



Sussex . . .' . 

 Foreness Point: 



Wood (1868 : 14-15; 1874 : 12), large colony on Long Nose Spit [see text of this county 



entry]. 

 Isle of Thanet: 



VIII. 1871; 19.IX.1883, Gisby Coll. (RME). 

 Dover: 



Smith, Sowerby & Johnson (1846 : 47) [see Margate, above]. 



Secondary records probably totally based on the above are : 



Batters (1902 : 54) and Holmes (1908 : 75), both reporting Margate and Dover; Lyle & 



Ridley (1925 : xxi), reporting South East Kent. 



Only in the case of Sussex has it been possible to locate previous specimens or literature on 

 which the statement by Smith, Sowerby & Johnson may have been based ; the records clearly are 

 Johnson's, but whether they depend on his own observations, verbal information from others, or
