C. elongata may be expected to occur in Hants ; it has been found 

 copiously in one station, if not more, in Surrey, although principally 

 distributed in the midland counties of England. 



Carex stellulata. In boggy, marshy places, wet woods, meadows, 

 and on moory, heathy ground; very frequent over the entire county. 

 Abundant on the skirts of Lake and Blackpan Commons, and else- 

 where near Sandown. Plentiful in New Copse, near Wootton, and 

 on Bleak Down. Abundant in boggy meadows about the Wilderness, 

 Rookley Moors, &c, and equally frequent on the mainland. 



Carex cur ta. In bogs and marshes, sides of pools, ditches, &c; 

 apparently very rare in Hants, and known to me as yet only in the 

 Isle of Wight. Observed to be extremely abundant almost everywhere 

 in Rookley Moors and about the Wilderness, where I had previously 

 detected it in more limited quantity, June 17, 1844. 



Carex oralis. One of the more frequent species of Carex in this 

 island and county, over which it seems very generally, though not 

 copiously, dispersed in boggy, marshy places, damp meadows, on wet 

 heaths, commons and pastures. On Stopler's Heath, by Newport. 

 Ashey Common. Heathy ground between Quarr and Ninham. 

 Easton Marsh, Freshwater. Frequent in many parts of Sandown 

 Level, and abundant on the boggy parts of Lake Common. Plenti- 

 ful in moory ground between Perreton and Horringford, and profusely 

 in moist pastures about Rookley Farm and the Wilderness, 1842. In 

 meadows near Newchurch, towards Haseley. On Bleak Down, in 

 several places, and elsewhere in the island. On Gurnet Common, and 

 by the Medina above E. Cowes, Miss G. E. Kilderbee. Met with by 

 me so frequently in mainland Hants that I have neglected noting 

 down special localities. By Durley Wood, -near Bishop's Waltham. 

 Frequent at Fisher's Pond, between Twyford and Bishop's Stoke, and 

 various other places. Fareham Common, Mr. W. L. Nolcutt. 



Carex vulgaris (C. Goodenovii, Gay., C. caespitosa, Sm.). Not un- 

 frequent in wet meadows, sides of ditches, ponds and other swampy 

 or boggy places in the Isle of Wight', and possibly equally dispersed 

 over the county, although I have no locality to cite for this most va- 

 riable species on the mainland. In Sandown marshes. In a boggy 

 meadow at the upper extremity of Blading Harbour, plentifully. In 

 Alverston Lynch, and between Newchurch and Alverston, frequent. 

 Bog at Cockleton, Miss G. E. Kilderbee !!! Var. |3. Leaves extremely 

 narrow ; in Sandown Level, on the skirts of Lake or Blackpan Com- 

 mons, and elsewhere. Var. y. Pistillate spikes small, much abbrevi- 

 ated, ovoid-oblong, pointed, perigynes very dark and broad; marshy
