from the tidal part of that river. I have, I believe, gathered the two forms 

 fi'om this marsh, but not on the same part. This plant attracted my notice 

 some nine years since, and I have found it each year, except the last. 1 

 pui-pose searching, this season, another marsh in the vicinity of Ross, where 

 possibly it may be growing, but has hitherto escaped notice. 



Utile et Dulce. 



Sir, — In your journal for the last month, page 155, you mtike a remark 

 " that even the pictorial is not always relished I)y the strictly scientific 

 shnplers." I hope however you will not hold yom* excellent journal 

 bound by this. If we wish botanical science to advance, we must unite 

 the titile and dulce ; and few articles excite a deeper interest than well- 

 told botanical rambles, forming little Registers of Botanical Facts, which 

 attract attention and lead to others. As one of your readers I have been 

 much pleased by the occasional notes of your excellent correspondent, Mr. 

 Sim, of Perth, many of the facts which he has adduced from time to time, 

 could be borne out by similar ones in other districts. During some lei- 

 sure moment, I may drop you a string of them. 



Please, Mr. Editor, be not too liberal in the use of diy technicalities. 

 Let us all avoid a misty, cloudy style, and do our best to make botany as 

 accessible and useful as it is pure, delightful, and ennobling.

Elevation of Dartmoor. 



I send a communication in answer to W. P., and it is as follows : — 

 Hypericum elorles. In the last number of the ' Phytologist,' your cor- 

 respondent W. P. asks if there be any part of Dartmoor more than a 

 thousand yards high ; he will find, on looking at the undermentioned 

 works, that no part is near the height he mentions. I give the following 

 notes with pleasure, being the highest in the Devonian range of hills : —

This plant, which is stated in 'Phytologist,' vol. v. p. 124, to be 

 peculiar to Cambridge, grows in certain fields which are not far from 

 Castle, Acre Pjiory, about four miles from Swaifham ; also at Cressingham, 

 about t hree miles from Watton. It grows, at or near SwafFham; in some
