The following remarks, by Dr. Salter, in a letter in the * Isle of 

 Wight Observer,' refer to the same subject : — 



" At the present time, the effects of the mildness of the temperature 

 on the vegetable kingdom are yet more remarkable than on the ani- 

 mal. For nearly a month past, primroses have been blossoming on 

 the banks, and the green-swards have been bespangled with daisies, 

 while Ulex europaeus is getting quite yellow with the abundance of 

 bloom. Not to dwell particularly on each, I would enumerate the fol- 

 lowing, which, within the last few days, I have observed in flower in the 

 fields, woods, and hedges, viz.^ Ficaria verna, several species of Ranun- 

 culus, Sinapis arvensis, Cardamine hirsuta. Lychnis diurna, Slellaria 

 holostea, S. media, Arenaria trinervis, Cerastium viscosum, Fragaria 

 vesca, Potentilla Fragariastrum, Heracleum Sphondyliura, Torilis An- 

 Ihriscus, Sonchus arvensis, Lapsana communis, Pyrethrum inodorum, 

 several species of Senecio, Anagallis arvensis, and Linum angustifo- 

 lium. Of shrubs and trees I may state that the honeysuckle and elder 

 are in leaf. In one hedge I saw a few hawthorn-leaves ; here and 

 there was one bush which had sprouted to the length of three inches. 

 The oaks, elms, and hazels have already an altered tint, from the 

 swelling of their buds. On the banks, the leaves of the wild Arum 

 are already developed ; and in the hedges Rubia peregrina is grown 

 to several inches. 



" In the gardens, there are in blossom several varieties of roses ; 

 also Arbutus, Laurus-tinus, Coronilla, a species of Acacia, violets 

 (double and single), daffodils, periwinkles, auemonies, Hepadca, snow- 

 drop, stock, scarlet geranium {Pelargonium), Omphalodes verna, 

 mignonette, Petasites fragrans, Sphenogyne speciosa, scabious, and
