among Corhulm and other inhabitants of mud, in four 
fathoms, in Loch Ryan, on the west coast of Scotland, 
in 1839. The name of the genus is formed from t\u 9 , 
mud, and av^o9, a flower, and was originally written 
Iluanthos ; but, as the Greek used in science is in a Latinized 
form, the correct orthography is certainly Ihjanthus. The 
English appellation refers to the pear- like form. 
ILYANTHUS BCOTICU3 
{from Forhes). 
When we add that a specimen, presumed to be of this 
species, was found on the beach at Balbriggan, in Ireland, 
after a storm, in March, 1843, its whole known history is 
recorded.
