tenure of the chair. Besides those printed below, one other entry 

 may be mentioned. Under ' Piper indicum ' p. 12 is noted ' a kynd 

 of pepper groweing in India : husked '. It may only have been 

 a coincidence, but Bayley happened to have been greatly interested 

 in Peppers, for some years later he printed, for distribution among 

 his friends, A short Discow'se of the Three Kmdes of Peppers in 

 commoti use and certain Medicines made of the same, tending to the 

 preservation of health, 1588. The discourse contains one personal 

 note which bears on the author's movements : * I have often scene 

 at Poole at Dorsetshire and also in London, the whole clusters of 

 pepper preserved in brine and in salt '. It is unnecessary to point 

 out that an old Wykehamist journeying from Oxford to Poole 

 would naturally break the journey at Winchester. 



If we accept the dates 1570-2 and the identifications of the 

 species, these brief notes are among the earliest known evidences 

 for the occurrence of eight species of plants in Hampshire, two of 

 which are the first localized notices for Britain.
