with wild Columbine {Aquilegia vulgaris), fringed with Cam- 

 panula glomerata, Geranium sanguineum, and Spircea Filipendula, 

 and concealing in their hidden recesses the lurid berries of the 

 Deadly Nightshade {Atropa Belladonna) . Interspersed amongst 

 the thickets may be found Rhamnus catharticus, Rosa Sabini, R. 

 tomentosa, Viola hirta, Hyiiericwm hirsutum, and Lithospermum 

 officinale, and sometimes straggling plants of Epipactis ensifolia ; 

 and by the stream below flourishes Parnassia palustris, Schcenus 

 nigricans, and a profuse growth of bog Mosses^ Hypnum commu- 

 tatum, H. stellatum, Bartramia fontana, and Bryum ventricosum." 



A list of Mosses follows on p. 15. On p. 17 it is recoi'ded that, 

 " According to the late Archdeacon Pierson, the thicket which 

 contains the source of Kilburn Beck produces Ranunculus 

 Lingua.'' Would it be very difficult to ascertain if this interest- 

 ing plant still grows here ?

 rocks about Boltby, Rolston, etc., viz. : — 



" Helianthemum vulgare, Arabis hirsuta, Anthyllis Vulneraria, Geranium 

 sanguineum, Scabiosa Columbaria, Hieracium murorum, Carlina vulgaris, 

 Gentiana Amavella, Avena pratensis, Neckera crispa, Tortula tortuosa, Enca- 

 lypta streptocarpa, E. vulgaris, Ortliotrichum auomalum, O. cupulatum, 

 Trichostomum flexicaule, Anomodon viticulosum."

Gormire, in this vicinity, is celebrated for producing an Epi- 

 lobium called by Mr. Baker E. ligulatum or E. lingulatum, for it 

 has had both these names ; also for Lysimachia thyrsiflora. Our 

 readers will thank the learned author of this useful tract, and we 

 apologize for not telling them about it at an earlier period.
