botanist also communicates a paper on the 'Botanical Features of the 

 Great Orme's Head ' (Phytol. iii. 869). 



Mr. Keys, of Plymouth, contributes (Phytol. iii. 869) a list of 'PI ants 

 found in Devonshire and Cornwall, in addition to those contained in 

 Jones's ' Flora Devoniensis,' and in Art. LII. of Part 1 of the ' Phy- 

 tologistV The list contains thirty-one species, but I suspect that some 

 of them, as Datura Stramonium and Polemonium caeruleum, must be 

 regarded rather in the light of intentional omissions on the part of 

 former botanists, than as additions to the Devonian flora. 



The other contributors of original papers are Mr. James Backhouse, 

 Mr. Alfred W. Bennett, Mr. W. Bennett, Mr. Buckman, Mr. De la 

 Chaumette, the Rev. Mr. Douglas, Mr. B. Flower, Mr. Holland, Mr. 

 Hussey, Mr. Luxford, Mr. Ogilvie, Mr. Oliver, Mr. Roby, and Mr. 

 Withers, all of them recording the observations made during botanical 

 excursions, or some facts of interest connected with the science ; and 

 I must not omit to notice, although recorded only on the wrapper, the 

 discovery of Cyclamen Hederaefolium on our southern coast, near 

 Hastings, by Mr. W. W. Saunders ; of Lycopodium annotinum in a 

 second Caernarvonshire station, by Mr. W. W. How ; and of Cystop- 

 teris montana a third time in Scotland, by Mr. Borrer and Dr. Walker- 

 Arnott. 



The reports of the Botanical Society of London contain a number 

 of interesting records. I would particularly cite the discovery of 

 Lilium pyrenaicum between South Molton and Molland, in Devon- 

 shire, by Mr. George Maw (Phytol. iii. 988), and that of Naias flexilis 

 in a pond near Roundstone, Connemara, Ireland, by Mr. Daniel Oli- 

 ver, Jun. (Phytol. iii. 1088). 



It is well known to the majority of my readers that I am indebted 

 to an abler botanist than myself for those notices of new works to 

 which the signature " C." is affixed. One of these, intituled "Notice 

 of the 'Tourist's Flora'" (Phytol. iii. 1042), has, I regret to find, been
