shire. It is also abundant on the Atherstone and Coleshill road, 

 Warwickshire, about a mile from the former place, growing with R. 

 Guntheri, W. Sf N., and other more common forms. I find it also in 

 the neighbourhood of Rugby, on the Dunchurch-road, in several loca- 

 lities. I have received it from the late lamented Mr. Edward S. Wil- 

 son, from the neighbourhood of Congleton, Cheshire. The other 

 closely allied, if at all distinct species, R. Sprengelii, W. fy N., is 

 found abundantly on Bardon Hill, Leicestershire, where it is readily 

 distinguished by its beautiful pink flowers. Mr. Lees finds it on 

 Bromsgrove Lickey, and Mr. Sidebotham in Bredbury Wood, near 

 Manchester, from both of whom I have received specimens. This 

 appears to me to be the weak, and R. Borreri, Bell Salt., to be the 

 more robust, form of the same species. 



9. R. carpinifolius, W. & N. Horton Cliff. 



10. R. amplijlcatus, E. Lees. R. macrophyllus, y. amplificatus, 

 Bab. Syn. Horton Cliff. 



11. R. rudis, W. & N. Near Ravenfield. 



12. R. radula, W. & N. In hedges. 



13. R. hystrix, W. & N. Radula, ft. hystrix, Bab. Syn. In Roch 

 Abbey Wood. This appears to me to be a perfectly distinct species 

 from R. radula, and, as far as my observation extends, to be very ge- 

 nerally diffused. 



14. R. Kcehleri, W. & N. Common in hedges about Horton and 

 Ravenfield. 



15. H. nemorosus, Hayne, dumetorum, W. & N. One of the most 

 common of our British Rubi in the midland counties. 



16. R. cassius, Linn. Common. Horton Cliff and Roch Abbey 

 Wood. 



17. N. saxatilis, Linn. In great abundance in two or three locali- 

 ties in Roch Abbey Wood. 



Two or three other forms were also observed by me, the identity of 

 which I have not as yet satisfied myself about.
