flavuin, Ranunculus aquatilis, R. Lingua, R. Flammula, Glaucium 

 luteum, Lepidium ruderale ?, Nasturtium sylvestre and N. tcr- 

 restre grow iu the salt- marshes at Yarmouth and Burgh Castle. 

 The two last are abundant at Ran worthy and also here at Bres- 

 singhamj inland. Sinapis tenuifolia : two or three stunted plants 

 found on the old ruined tower near the bridge, and on the 

 old wall, St. Nicholas' churchyard, Yarmouth, found years ago 

 by Dawson Turner. S. muralis, sparingly on sandy fields, 

 Hemsby, five miles from Great Yarmouth ; since found at Gorton, 

 Suffolk. Viola flavicornis and Cerasliwn arvense, var. striatum, 

 both growing very abundantly on tlie North Denes, at Yarmouth. 

 Of the last, I think I sent you some specimens last year. Query : 

 How is it that this plant, so abundant in bogs at llauworth, is 

 quite different from those growing iu sands? how can this be 

 accounted for? They are now in flower at Yarmouth. April is 

 its first time of flowering. Frankenla laevis ? abundant in salt- 

 marshes on Breydin Water, Yarmouth, and all over the marshes 

 at Caistor ; Silene maritima, sandhills, Yarmouth, Hemsby, and 

 near the high lightliouse, Winterton. Hypericum Elodes , Stel- 

 laria nemorum ? in Alder Gars, Gaistor Marshes. Trifolium mari- 

 timum ? salt-marshes at Great Yarmouth, sparingly. T. suffo- 

 catuin, sandhills in different places between Orford and Yar- 

 mouth; Lathyrus palustris, Blue Marsh Vetchling. This beau- 

 tiful plant seems to have a wide range in the Norfolk fens. Its 

 blue flowers are conspicuous amongst the brushwood, and its half- 

 arrow-shaped, lanceolate stipules appearing like wings, make the 

 plant easily observed, particularly when the Grasses and Garices 

 are faded. It grows at Caistor, Aldeby, Ranworth, Loddon 

 Norton, Kirbycane, Bressingham, Lopham, and near Thetford. 

 Hottonia palustris, ditches at Caistor, Aldeby, Ranworth. Slum 

 latifolium and S. angustifolium, ditches at Caistor, and all over 

 the Norfolk fens. The (Enanthe is a plant which I never saw till 

 that day, and a friend, who is now botanizing the islands of 

 Bornholm and Gothland, told me it was distinct from what I 

 thought to be (E. fluviatilis. I Avill, as soon as I can get it in 

 floAver, send a specimen. Peucedanum palustre, in the marshes at 

 Gaistor; it was out of flower and scarce when we saw it. At 

 Ranworth one might gather Avaggon-loads of it. I sent a large 

 number to the Thirsk Society last year. I shall be happy to 

 gather it for any correspondent next month (July) who may
