Two plants mentioned by Ellis are doubtful, the " sedge, or 

 round rush," -which is probably a common species of Juncus, and 

 " white bennet," as to the identity of which I can hazard no 

 conjecture. 



In conclusion I may append a short list of Ellis's works from 

 which the foregoing notices have been drawn : for a fuller account 

 of them I must refer inquirers to Mr. Britten's volume previously 

 cited (pp. ix-xi). 



{a) 1736. ' Xew Experiments' (incorporated in (e)). 



(h) 1738. ' Timber Tree Improved' (reissued in {$)). 



[c) 1749. ' Shepherd's Guide.' 



{d) 1750. ' Country Housewife.' 



{e) ,, 'Modem Husbandman,' in eight parts, some of which 

 probably were issued in advance of the date on the title-page. 



(/) 1759. 'Practical Farmer,' ed. v (incorporated in (e)). The 

 previous editions must have come out very early in the literary 

 career of Ellis, but I have not succeeded in seeing them.
