About Franchard are numerous mares, as usual upon the top of the 

 hill. Tn one of these, beyond the Rocher qui pleure, I met with an 

 abundance of Bulliarda: Ranunculus nodiflorus and Juncus pygmse- 

 us also occur, and in the same neighbourhood likewise grows Elatine 

 hexandra. On a former occasion I recollect to have observed Pilula- 

 ria. In this part also, in the largest mare, and at a very short dis- 

 tance from Franchard, Airopsis agrostidea is found, but I was too 

 early to hope for it at this time, and on a later occasion (August 4th) 

 I was equally unsuccessful. The Rocher qui pleure is a rock hol- 

 lowed out beneath, from which a few drops of water continually pro- 

 ceed for the greater part of the year. It is not easy to determine 

 whence this water proceeds, as there seems but little extent at top 

 from which it could receive supplies, and the small pools which ex- 

 isted when I was there, would be dried up in a few days of fine wea- 

 ther. Opposite to this, on some rocks which are perhaps kept moist 

 by some infiltration from the great mare, is Asplenium lanceolatum. 



I was told, on what seemed competent authority, that the voiture 

 (these small-stage carriages are not called diligences) set out for Male- 

 sherbes at 5, at half-past 5 and at 6. We started at ten minutes before 

 6, (no proof that 6 was not the appointed hour), and reached Male- 

 sherbes at 9. and I found myself very comfortable at a little inn called 

 I'Etoile, at the entrance of the town.

Art. CLXXXIX. — Rarer Plants observed near Coggeshall, Essex. 

 By Jabez M. Gibson, Esq. 



The following is a list of some of the more uncommon plants grow- 

 ing in the neighbourhood of Pattiswick, observed by myself in the 

 course of the present summer. 



If any of your readers should happen to take a botanical stroll into 

 this neighbourhood, I should feel great pleasure in pointing out the 

 localities of any of these plants, more particularly than can be de- 

 scribed in a hasty list like the present ; or of affording any informa- 

 tion which lies in my power.
