glauca in marshy meadows at the foot of St. Catherine's Hill, of Cus- 

 cuta europaea in an osier-holt by the side of the Wey a little above 

 Guildford, and of Lepidium sativum and Barbarea praecox, upon the 

 banks of the river, have been already recorded by Mr. Mill (Phytol. i. 

 41 and 64). Nasturtium sylvestre is found by the river-side against 

 Unstead-bridge, and in an adjoining meadow Scabiosa succisa, which 

 also occurs towards Hurtmore Bottom, and near Mungrove. Chry- 

 sosplenium alternifolium, intermixed with C. oppositifolium, on a wet 

 hedge-bank near the bridge. There are several other stations for this 

 beautiful plant, as the alder-car on Wood Farm, the Withy-beds, in the 

 Deanery meadows, &c. Medicago raaculata grows on the towing- 

 path near Catteshall-bridge, a situation in which I am unable to ac- 

 count for its appearance. In the ditches in the common meadows will 

 be found CEnanthe crocata, Alisma Plantago, Sagittaria sagittifolia, 

 Butomus umbellatus, and several species of Potamogeton, as densus, 

 pusillus, pectinatus, gramineus, perfoliatus ; and in that portion known 

 as Salgaston, Cardamine amara and Menyanthes trifoliata, which also 

 occurs in a meadow higher up the river, and at Bom-moors, Compton. 

 The boggy parts of Hurtmore Bottom will amply repay the labour of 

 investigation. Here several of the marsh plants will be found, among 

 others, Thalictrum flavum, Ribes nigrum, Angelica sylvestris, Samo- 

 lus Valerandi, Triglochin palustre, Scirpus sylvaticus, and several 

 Carices. Gagea lutea is recorded in the ' Botanist's Guide ' as grow- 

 ing in a " meadow near Godalming." I have not been able to verify 

 this information. 



The woods surrounding Godalming are rich in botanical rarities. 

 Euonymus europaeus, Cornus sanguinea, Campanula Trachelium, 

 Veronica montana, Lamium Galeobdolon and Ruscus aculeatus are 

 common. Cardamine impatiens is abundant for the first two or three 

 years after the clearing of the copsewood. Turritis glabra is sparingly 

 found in the coppices and hedge-rows. The declivities of the woods 

 with south and west aspects afford the rare Carex depauperata; the 

 only other station for this plant is Charlton, in Kent. On Frith Hill, 

 Lepidium campestre, Dianthus Armeria, Astragalus glycyphyllos, Se- 

 dum Telephium and Marrubium vulgare are plentiful. In the corn- 

 fields at the foot will be found Thlaspi arvense, Sisymbrium Sophia 

 and Agrostis Spica-venti. 



Upon the tops of the old walls in and about the town several plants 

 have established themselves. Corydalis lutea grows luxuriantly be- 

 tween Meadrow and Famcomb, and sparingly in other situations. 

 Sedum album towards Crown pits, with S. reflexum, Saxifraga tridac-
