running water, quite common ; so too is another species, C. stag- 

 nalis, var. platycarpa ; this latter in a well-developed form, appears 

 in the brook by the roadside at Bank End. 



CRASSULACEiE.— The Stonecrops are but meagrely represented 

 along shore. Sedum telephium, on the rocks at St. Bees and at 

 Parton ; just a little way inland, as about Edderside, New Cooper, 

 Aikshaw, etc.; it is a common plant of dry old-fashioned hedge- 

 rows. S. anglicum ; a former well-known station of this pretty 

 little Sedum has lately disappeared, where a new wall has supplanted 

 an ancient wayside hedgerow between AUonby and Dubmill ; it is 

 yet abundant about Cardurnock Point, and may also be seen on 

 dry banks at Coulderton. S. acre grows freely on the shore on 

 both sides of the Derwent at Workington, on the beach about 

 Saltpans, and elsewhere. 5. sexangiilare ; while residing at Water- 

 millock, some six years ago, I received plants of this species from 

 the late Mr. VV. Dickinson, F.L.S., of Thorncroft, which had been 

 gathered by him on wall tops at Workington and about Hunday. 



Saxifragace^. — Like the last order, represented on the coast 

 by very few species. Saxifraga tridactylites ; on wall tops and old 

 cottage roofs ; nowhere abundant here, though familiarly met with 

 in many parts of the county, especially in limestone districts. 

 S. granulata ; in dry gravelly places along the beach ; quite large 

 patches of this very interesting flower are to be seen on the railway 

 embankment between Flimby and St. Helen's, also between Bank 

 End and AUonby. Chrysosplenium oppositifolium, and C. alterni- 

 folium; these slender, succulent plants, are to be sought for in 

 moist shaded situations : the former greatly outnumbers the latter, 

 indeed, I am not altogether certain whether I have ever seen the 

 alternate-leaved type quite near to the shore; it is decidedly 

 scarce anywhere.
