278. Note on Adiantum Capillus- Veneris. About sixteen years 

 ago I foirnd Adiantum Capillus- Veneris on the Clee hill, Titterstoue. 

 It was growing among the stones, on the ascent to the group of rocks 

 called the Giant's Chair. I plucked a piece of it as a specimen, and 

 placed it in my book, leaving the root. This specimen I kept by me

 not doubting that the next time I visited the spot, I should again find 

 the plant. However, I have hitherto been unsuccessful in my re- 

 searches, but it would be well if some one would diligently search for 

 it, and perhaps it may again be discovered. — Fred. Westcott; Spring

 beautiful little plant in England (Phytol. 520), I beg to add that it is 

 mentioned as indigenous in the woods at Hampstead, Middlesex, in 

 the list of wild plants in the ' History of Hampstead ' by Park, pub- 

 lished, I believe, thirty or forty years ago : and in 1835 I detected 

 several patches of the plant, apparently well established and really 

 wild, under the shade of fir-trees, growing near the highest parts of 

 Caen wood, the property of the Earl of Mansfield, between Hamp- 

 stead and Highgate, A year or two before that time, 1 had also ob- 

 served it under fir-trees in Aspley wood, Bedfordshire. The village
