them may be seen in the 'Phytologist' for the succeeding 

 month, as above referred to. 



Carex bryzoides has been reported wild in Britain, but no suffi- 

 cient notice of its locality has hitherto reached the * Phytologist.' 

 Nor, indeed, can we say whether there is anything better than news- 

 paper authority for its existence with us. 



The following additional localities are of considerable interest : — 



Adiantum Capillus- Veneris. Phytol. iii. 11. Mr. H. E. Smith 

 . records this fern as growing on the Peak of Derbyshire. 

 This inland habitat is very singular, and I should be much 

 gratified at receiving confirmation of the fact. 



Linaria supina. Phytol. iii. 29. Mr. Westcombe records the oc- 

 currence of this species at Hayle, in Cornwall, thus adding a 

 second county to its geographical range in this country. 



Filago gallica. Phytol. iii. 48. Recorded by Mr. Watson as 

 found by Mr. Varenne near Berechurch, Essex. Long re- 

 corded as British, but few botanists had ever seen a British 

 specimen. 



Carex punctata. Phytol. iii. 57. Found near Charlestown, Cora- 

 wall, by Mr. Westcombe. Recorded only from Caernarvon- 

 shire and Guernsey previously. 



Filago apiculata. Phytol. iii. 269, 310, 317. The first notice of 

 this plant as a distinct species, appeared in the 'Phytologist' 

 for 1846 (Phytol. ii. 575), with a description by the Rev. G. 

 E. Smith, to whom English botanists are indebted for having 

 their attention called to its claims to specific distinction. 

 The correctness of Mr. Smith's view appears now in a fair 

 way towards being generally recognized and admitted. The 

 plant occurs in various counties, although reported only from 

 Yorkshire previous to 1848. 



In conclusion, I beg again to offer my warmest thanks to those
