tinental gardens. Localities are not generally given, but many speci- 

 mens from the Jura and Sicily are very definitely localized. There 

 can be little doubt that these were collected during Eay's foreign tour 

 in the years 1663-1665, of which he has left us an interesting account 

 in his 'Journey,' published in 1673, in which book lists of the plants 

 found are given, which agree with those in the ' Hortus Siccus.' 

 These lists were afterwards extended and improved in the ' Stirpium 

 Extra Brit, Nasc. Sylloge ' (1694). With these are a few British plants, 

 of which some have localities affixed, which it will be interesting to 

 quote : —
