specimens in that state near the summit of Rydal Pikes. I did not 

 meet with S. paschale, nor S. corallinura. S. Cereolus I found, very 

 fine, on a wall by Wastwater. Lecanora upsaliensis spread among 

 the thin herbage of some of the mountain-tops, Grasmere Fell, for ex- 

 ample, and Dale Head above Newlands. 



I observed Verrucaria laevigata, very fine, in the bed of the Tees at 

 Barnard Castle, and one patch of V. isidoides [Pertusaria of Hooker 

 in Brit. Flor.) at the High Force. I believe this lichen has heretofore 

 been found only by Miss Hutchins, who discovered it near Bantry. 

 I was sorry to learn from Mr. Robertson that the station of Endocar- 

 pon euplacum [Ach.) near Newcastle, the only known one in Britain, 

 is destroyed, a quay, I think he said, now occupying the place. 



I will now bring my rambling and egotistical gossip to a conclu- 

 sion ; wishing to future visitants more success in finding the rare 

 plants of these interesting districts, and as much enjoyment as I had 

 in hunting for them.

 Henfield, Januaiy 15, 1846. 



P. S. Feb. 10, 1846. — Mr. Wilson pronounces my supposed Bry- 

 um Duvallii, the B. Ludwigii of Schwaegrichen, a moss previously 

 found by Mr. W. in Clova and in Wales. 



Mr. Mitten finds among some mosses that I had put unexamined 

 into his hands Racomitrium protensum of Braun [B. & S.). I gath- 

 ered it firom dry rocks by the path from the inn at Scale Hill, Cum- 

 berland, to " the station," where it forms wide patches. I found no 

 firuit. 



I take this opportunity of correcting a few inaccuracies either of 

 my pen or of the press.

P. 429. — Immediately before the quotation from Wordsworth — 

 Oar Gap should be Ore Gap. The place is so named from nodules of 

 iron-ore scattered on the surface of the ground. In line 3, after the 

 quotation, Devon should be Duddon. 



P. 432. — Under Borago orientalis, Portiuscale should be Portin- 

 scale. 



P. 436. — Among the stations of the Hypnum, Riddingdale should 

 be Riggindale.
