at many stations along the coast, although the fruit in such 
places is decidedly inferior to that gathered on the mountains. 
Andromeda polifolia; found in abundance on Bowness Moss, and 
less frequently on Salta Moss; in both cases not much above 
shore level. rica tetralix, E. cinerea, Calluna vulgaris, are all 
more or less common in the Mosses already referred to; Z. cinerea 
also grows between the West Cumberland Iron Works and the 
beach ; its proper home, however, is among the rugged bluffs 
of Ennerdale, Wastdale, or Borrowdale, where its purple bloom 
makes a splendid show in July and August; the Pyrolas, which 
stand next in the Catalogue, are seldom found in proximity to 
the sea, although Pyrola minor grows in the drier parts of Flimby 
Wood. 
GENTIANACE. 
Erythrea litoralis is reported from Cardurnock by Dr. Leitch 
of Silloth, as is also Z. /atifolia from Birkby, near Maryport, by 
the same gentleman; the common type of Centaury, such as 
is sold in our market, is frequent in all the stiff soil over Flimby, 
Broughton, and Ellenborough Moors, &c. Aenyanthes trifoliata 
is found in Salta Moss, associated with several of the peat-loving 
species already referred to. 
CONVOLVULACEA. 
Convolvulus arvensis is abundant in a garden hedgerow at 
Flimby Vicarage; and C. sepium may be seen close to the beach 
at Waterloo Terrace in the same small parish. C. soldonelia, 
also on the beach near Fothergill, and here and there along the 
coast as far as Seascale, where it appears very showy on the 
gravelly shore. 
SOLANACEA. 
Solanum dulcamara ; this trailing shrub is conspicuously plen- 
tiful in a sea-side hedgerow not far from Bank End, Maryport ; 
common also about Mossbay. Ayoscyamus niger; once plentiful 
about the Maryport Railway station, though now obliterated ;
