that implement was superseded by the mowing-machine; var. 
major, on the North Shore, Workington. 
LABIATA. 
Lycopus europeus; this species is comparatively rare with us, 
_ but grows by the edges of peaty pools on Salta Moss behind Dub- 
mill. Mentha hirsuta; by slow-running ditches very prevalent ; 
many a time when fagged and weary with a long day’s tramp, 
have I felt refreshed by the powerful odour of its leaves when 
crushed in the hand. JZ arvensis; often too prevalent in foul 
crops ; its odour is not unpleasant, though not nearly so pungent 
as that of the Horsemint just mentioned ; the dried leaves, when 
powdered, are sometimes used as a seasoning in black-puddings 
Thymus serpyllum, common on dry banks along the entire coast 
line; bees seem very fond of it. Calamintha clinopodium ; another 
- xerophilous species, not unusual, though far less abundant than 
the wild thyme. JVefefa glechoma appears but rarely in proximity 
to the shore; a few plants in a hedge bank near Flimby Post 
Office. Prunella vulgaris, common in heavy soil, and on waste 
_ banks; also on sterile or poorly farmed pasture ground. Sadlota 
a nigra, in old lists reporfed from Workington Marsh, where it still 
holds its ground, zeste Rev. H. Friend. Stachys betonica, on hedge 
_ banks and the drier parts of meadow ground, not infrequent ; 
largely sought after by herbalists. S. germanica, gathered in 1886 
_ onthe ballast heaps at Maryport ; now obliterated by fresh deposits 
 ofsoil. S. palustris, in most localities ; a troublesome weed where 
prevalent. S. sylvatica, an occupant of most rubbish heaps and un- 
_ disturbed corners near dwellings ; a coarse-looking species, giving 
~ out an offensive odour when handled. S. arvensis, an annual species, 
_ of humbler growth than the other Woundworts, and less common, 
though locally abundant; plentiful in fields between Aigle-Gill 
brickworks and the shore west of Flimby. Galeopsis versicolor is 
_ a plant which I found growing upon upon a newly-raised railway 
embankment near Seaton Station in the summer of 1886; I am 
informed by Mr. Duckworth that it grows plentifullly northward of 
Carlisle, in the direction of Gretna, G, defrahi¢ is almost univers-
