Tke Atlantic element, it will be seen, is proportionately very 
large, while the Germanic is small; and in these respects Guernsey 
resembles the south-western extremity of England. On the southern 
borders of Devon and Cornwall 16 Germanic and 36 Atlantic 
species are found (Briggs, lors of Plymouth, Introd., p. xxvi.). 
Coming eastward, the proportion changes. There are in the Isle of 
Wight 37 Germanic and 26 Atlantic species, and on the mainland of 
the county of Hampshire 54 Germanic and 24 Atlantic plants 
(Cownsend, Fiora of Hampshire, p 492). 
Of the 120 plants which occur in every one of the 38 sub- 
provinces into which Watson has divided Great Britain, 7 are 
wanting in the Guernsey flora; of 54 which occur in 37 sub- 
provinces g are wanting; of 44 which occur in 36 sub-provinces 
7 are wanting ; of 41 which occur in 35 sub-provinces 7 are wanting ; 
of 46 which occur in 34 sub-provinces 11 are wanting; and the 
number of absentees increases as we proceed. On the other hand, 
the island can show ro species which are found in only 5 sub- 
provinces, 8 species which are found in only 4, 6 species which are 
found in only 3, 5 species which are found in only 2, and 7 species 
which are restricted to a single sub-province.
