The manuscript notes in Goodyer's hand in the John- 

 son's Mercurius, 1634, have unfortunately been cut off 

 by some wretched bookbinder, but one about * Saxifraga 

 palustris alsinefolia ^ Ger, emac." confirms 1638 as the year 

 of his visit to the west of England. He found it ' In the 

 springs about Smocombe wood neare Bath, on the north- 

 east parts of the wood, j. Sept. 1638'. In modern language 

 it is the White Sandwort {Sao^ina nodosa) that he had been 

 the first to add to science in 1626. 



Probably at the same time he became acquainted with 

 the Wood Vetch {Vicia sylvatica L.), which he called 'Vicia 

 Bathoniensia vel maxima sylvatica' and found ' In Smoak- 

 hall Wood by the Bathe, and at the Devizes in Wiltshire '.*
