Glamorganshire: the other by Mr. 8. P. Woodward, on the farm of 
Mr. Thomas Arkell at Penhill, about two miles from Swindon. 
From both these stations I have been favoured with specimens, 
which are now considered to be referable to very luxuriant examples 
of “©. pratensis” rather than “C. tuberosus.” I may add that 
luxuriant states of “CO. pratensis” differs from the ordinary form by 
its much more pinnatified and lobed leaves, and its heads of flowers 
often two or three, almost close together, but each one single on a 
long peduncle, the root has fleshy fusiform fibres or tubers, and is 
also stoloniferous. Thus it will be seen, that as yet no other 
habitat is certainly known for this very local plant, which has been 
found by so few English Botanists, besides the original one in this 
County, (Wilts). Should this slight sketch afford any gratification 
to those who may’be pursuing their botanical researches in the 
county, or lead any to visit the locality and explore it for them- 
selves, it will have fulfilled one object which I have had in view; 
the other being to express my gratification at the distinguished 
success which the ‘“ Wiltshire Archeological and Natural History 
Society ” has met with since its formation.

Famity or Noyrs.—A gentleman who has made considerable 
collections towards the illustration of the Genealogy of the Family 
of Noyes, which was settled at Erchfont, and intermarried with 
many of the oldest county families, the Erneleys, Eyres, Longs, 
Duckets, Kellaways, &c., early in the 16th century; and possessed 
considerable estates there and elsewhere in the county, from which 
it spread into the adjoining counties of Hants and Berks, would be 
extremely obliged by a communication from any members of the 
Wilts Society, who may be able to favour him with any information 
from early court rolls of manors, title deeds, or parish registers. 
The neighbourhood of All Cannings, Erchfont, Calne, Chal- 
field, Marlborough, Manningford, Devizes, Long Parish, Chute, 
Chesingbury, and Ramsbury in Wilts, and Andover in Hants, 
must possess information which would be of great value to the 
Subscriber. A Member of the Sussex Archwological Society.
