especially about quarry banks or railway cuttings ; in such situ- 
ations it is sometimes found in abundance, and may be classed as 
local rather than rare. 4. umbellatum; I have recently gathered 
this species growing among loose sand and gravel a few yards 
only from the Railway Station at Siddick Junction, on the side 
next to Flimby.  doreale; a common species, appearing 
frequently along the shore; very abundant by the railway between 
Dearham Bridge and Bullgill stations; a large and coarse- 
looking plant, nicknamed “Grim the collier” in some parts of 
Cumberland. 
CAMPANULACEZ, 
Jasione montana; a common occupant of friable soils towards the 
coast as well as inland; I remember seeing some fields near 
New Cooper quite covered with it, and haying a distinctly azure 
tint in consequence. Campanula latifolia; a characteristic orna- 
ment of most of our river banks, and found thereon quite down 
to shore level; strangers to the district are loud in their admir- 
ation of this grand-looking wild flower, which I have heard 
designated as the White Foxglove. C. rotundifolia; more abundant 
and widely-distributed than the species just referred to; Mr. W. 
Duckworth notes that its flowers may be expected to appear about 
the last week in June, which closely agrees with my own experi- 
ence, save that in more elevated districts, towards the mountains, 
_ the date may be a few days later. I remember the late Rev. H. H. 
Wood, F.R.S., telling me once that in his Dorsetshire parish, near 
_ Sherborne, the Bluebell was unknown, and so also was Senecto 
_ jacobwa, the Common Ragwort. How greatly we should miss 
them here ! 
‘ ErIcAcEéi, 
Vaccinium oxycoccos; commonly found in swampy uplands, 
_heaths, and peat-bogs; and only finds a place in these notes 
from its appearance in Salta Moss, close to the shore, behind 
Dubmill, though but sparingly represented there. V. myrtillus, 
_ Bleaberry of our dalesmen, also approaches close to the shore
