to the Flora Scotica, Polygonum pensylvanicum, 
Senecio saracenicus, Lichen pyaidatus, 8 of Huds. ; 
Byssus rubra? Wuds.; Agaricus deliciosus and vi- 
ridis, and Lycoperdon epiphyllum of Linnzus, not 
of Lightfoot or Hudson. 
I have done very poorly in Fucz, &c., having re- 
peatedly gone down to the sea-shore, when the wind 
has nearly blown me off my feet, without finding 
scarcely a morsel of vegetable matter. This is a very 
bad coast for sea plants, not comparable to ours. I 
got no fossils in my tour: the Asbestos is very rare, 
and perhaps, were you to see it, would disappoint 
you as it didme. The 4rundo in Karsham wood 
is certainly the epigejos. Ihave the true calama- 
grostis. 1 am extremely obliged to you for your 
excellent drawing of Lycoperdon coliforme, and for 
your valuable remarks onthat genus. The L. pedun- 
culatum I have seen at Dr. Hope’s; it was found in 
Scotland: I have formerly observed the circum- 
stance you mention in the L. fraxinum. 
I found the ZL. stellatum in a young state ; it is 
now in the form of a white ball, the volva being en- 
tire, about the thickness of a leather glove, and co- 
vering the head; the perforation in the head is as 
distinct as when the fungus is ripe. I have a species 
which I take to be new, and have sent Mr. Dickson 
a specimen: it is very small, and grows in clusters 
onmoss; I call it Lycoperdon fragile, and define it, 
£. parasiticum pyriforme, Sragile, ntidum, badium, 
farind fuscd : "tis not a Spheria. 
Dr. Walker has found a number of plants in 
Scotland which are not in Lightfoot: among them
