BOTANY OF JERSEY. 227 



As far as I am able to institute a comparison (having visited 

 Brittany and Normandy), the Botany of Jersey (more parti- 

 cularly the N. E. parts), much more resembles that of the 

 above provinces of France, than of the southern counties of 

 England. 



Mr. Babington, of Cambridge, having given a very able 

 sketch of the history of Guernsey and Jersey in a little work 

 lately published, I refradn from giving any description of them, 

 fearing to trespass too far on the part of your valuable jour- 

 nal allotted to this paper. I cannot, however, help noticing, 

 that there is one locality in Jersey which Mr. B. appears to 

 me not to have visited ; I refer to a place called " Les Veaux," 

 a beautiful spot towards the S. E. part of the island, con- 

 sisting alternately of wood and plain, mountain and valley, 

 and where the plants that are found are of the richest, rarest, 

 and most luxuriant kinds. 



It may not be out of place here to correct an erroneous 

 statement I have seen in some works on Botany, namely, that 

 Centaurea Isnardi i^ iovmdi in pastures ifi the Isle of Jersey. 

 From four years constant study of the Botany of this island, 

 I think I may safely affirm that no such plant is found there ; 

 in this view I am supported by the testimony of several other 

 botanists : it is, however, found in one spot in Guernsey, on 

 the authority of Mr. Babington. I will now proceed to the 

 immediate object of the present paper, by giving a list of the 

 plants I have found in the above-mentioned island.
