116 Regulations of Admission to the Museum and Library. 
represented, and of these I shall unhesitatingly insert all good 
specimens which may be sent. They are the water-plants which 
cover the ponds in early summer with their white flowers, and pre- 
sent a great variety of forms. The collection already possesses 
~ several very interesting forms, and some of the species not recorded 
in Mr. Flower’s “ Flora.” The ponds in which they grow often 
dry up in summer, yet the plants are not destroyed, but re-appear 
when there is sufficient water in the spring. A series from a 
succession of ponds on the Overton Downs will interest those who 
are paying attention to the subject. Specimens of Thlaspi perfoliatum, 
Sinapis muralis, Silene noctiflora, Caucalis daucoides, Carduus 
tuberosus, Oineraria campestris, Monotropa Hypopitys, Polemonium 
caruleum, Orobanche elatior, Euphorbia platyphylla, Ornithogalum 
pyrenaicum, Alopecurus fulvus, together with some Rudi and Salices 
_ not recorded in the “ Flora,” will also be found, some of them quite 
‘new to the county, and not known hitherto to occur so far south. 
Still these are but very few of the rarities of Wiltshire, which I 
hope to increase ere many months have passed.
