Mr. George Maw exhibited ten photographs of living NarcisU 

 made in the iiiviera in 1870. He afterwards gave a short account 

 of the North-African and South Spanish Narcissi, as met with by 

 him on recent visits there. N. fapyraceus extends as far as Eez 

 in Morocco, south of which N. JBroussonetii takes its place, 

 extending from Saffi to Mogador. Allusion was then made to 

 the smallest of the white forms of N. Tazzetta in the island of 

 Teneriffe. Of the autumnal species reference was made to N. nu- 

 diflorus, which had been lost sight of for half a century, but 

 which Mr. Maw had re-discovered in 1883 in the neighbouffiood 

 of Gibraltar, and again recently near Tangier. A hybrid between 

 N. viridifiorus and N. serotinus was found by him near Gibraltar ; 

 and a series of hybrids between N. viridifiorus and N. elerjans 

 were gathered in North Morocco. Mr. Maw observed that 

 N. serotinus was limited to the south of Spain and N. elegans to 

 the TMorocco coast, tlie latter plant bearing true leaves. N. vi- 

 ridifiorus and N. serotinus he asserted to be leafless, the scape 

 appearing without leaves ; and what seemed leaf-organs he as- 

 sumed were flowerless scapes. Mr. Maw also referred to the 

 abundance of a small Amaryllid, Tapeinanthus humilis, Herb. 

 {Pancratium humile, Cav.), about eight miles south of Tangier, 

 w^hich he collected both in fruit and flower. Of miscellaneous 

 plants collected by him during the tour, Pceonia coriacea, Lavan- 

 dula lunata, Eryngium glaciate, and Asplenium Petrarchai were 

 obtained on the Sierra Nevada, and Saxifraga hiternata at El Forcal 

 near Antiquerra, in South Spain.
