Gooseberry, (Ribes grossularia..) — Numerous. 



Black Currant, (Ribes nigrum.) — On one tree. 



Bed Currant, (Ribes rubrum ) — Luxuriant on six. 



Ash, (Fraxinus excelsior.) — In considerable abundance on ten trees. On 

 a decayed trunk of Salix alba I noticed a young Ash nearly four yards 

 high. 



Hedge Woundwort, (Stachys sylvatica.) — In profusion on three old pollard 

 trees. 



Wych Elm, (Uhnus montana.) — On three. 



Alder, (Alnus glutinosa.) — An occasional plant. 



Beech, (Fagus sjlvatica.) — Abundant on two trees. 



Oak, (Quercus Robur.) — On one. 



Epilobium raontanum. — In great abundance on many trees. I dare 

 venture to say that there are upwards of fifty roots of this species. 



In addition to the above plants I noticed at the time of observation, 

 the following other species: — Enchanter's Nightshade, (Circcea Itdetiaim,) 

 Nipplewort, (Lapsana communis,) Dandelion, (Leontodon Taraxacum,) White 

 Dead-nettle, (Lamium album,) Docks, (Rumex sanguineus, obtusifolius, and 

 acetosa,) Nettle, ( Urtica dioica,) Poa annua, P. pratensis, and several other 

 species of grasses, growing principally on the old pollard trees. Also a 

 single plant of Tropceolura majus.
