ROSACEiE. 125 



I, however, prefer to consider it a variety of fusco-ater, as does Professor 

 Babington. I regret the latter should have fallen into the eiTor of 

 supposing I had informed him that Briggsii is abundant near Plymouth. 

 {Brit. Jviib/, 215.) This is far from being the case. I fear it may now 

 be extinct in District iii. It comes nearer the form of fusco-ater found 

 at Common Wood than to the one near ^liiller's omalodontos.
