BIOGRAPHICAL INDKX OF BRITISH AND IRISH BOTANISTS. 345

[The misnaming of E. B. ed. iii. t. 253 was manifestly a clerical 

 error on our part : and a careful comparison of the two impressions 

 of the plate does not lead us to the conclusion that the "apparently 

 intentional suppression" of the pubescence is due to anything 

 but careless printing — of which E. B. ed. iii. furnishes too many 

 examples. We think it better, however, to print Mr. Druce's note 

 as we have received it, agreeing with the writer that " the thing to 

 be desired now is the re-discovery" of Spergula pentandra "in 

 Ireland." — Ed. Journ. Bot.1
