ARTICLES IN JOURNALS. 123 



Wilson's style will seriously hinder the reader from getting hold of 

 his practical investigations ; and his imperfect knowledge of the 

 Grasses often affects his conclusions. Take, for instance, his views 

 about Eye-grass. The conflict of testimonies about this grass, 

 he says, is caused by its not being suited to our climate. Its natural 

 locality is the North of Italy, and we try to naturalise it beyond its 

 proper range. Pacey's Rye-grass he considers to be a hybrid 

 between Eye-grass and Meadow Fescue. Mr. Wilson is somewhat 

 careless with his names. A botanist is prejudiced by finding at the 

 outset that he introduces a novel spelling of " Graminneas," and 

 that he converts Sowerby into "Dr. Sowbery" or " Sowberry." 

 Nevertheless a careful student, who can give the time to it, may 

 find many useful suggestions in the pages of Mr. Wilson's volume.
