inhabitants, not only of our own village, but to those of all villages, towns, 

 and cities, in Great Britain ; indeed to the inhabitants of all lands, where- 

 soever the contemplation of God's works cheers and elevates the mind of 

 man." 



In conclusion we very warmly recommend these hints to our 

 readers, many of whom desire to extend their acquaintance with 

 natural science, and especially offer them as an excellent model 

 to such benevolent persons as have the intention of doing some- 

 thing to provide innocent recreation, and healthy, useful instruc- 

 tion to the younger and less affluent members of society. 



BOTANICAL NOTES, NOTICES, AND QUERIES. 

 Answers to Correspondents, Notes, Remarks, etc. 



Mr. C. Howie, now of Largo, and late of St. Andrew's, obligingly in- 

 forms us that he, with a deputation of the ArchaBological and Scientific 

 Society of St. Andrew's, intends to explore the ancient camp of Sueno, the 

 Danish monarch who invaded Scotland many centuries ago. Fifty years 

 ago this place was a muir covered with whins, where Hypiimn undiilatum 

 grew and fruited in profusion. 



Our excellent correspondent is organizing a naturalists' society, and 

 promises particulars in a future communication. 



Our Plymouth correspondent, T. R. A. B., is hereby thanked for his 

 remarks on Epilobium lanceolatiim, and is requested to continue his obser- 

 vations, and to tell us the results. That his plant is E. Imiceolutitm we 

 do not deny ; all that we can say is that it corresponds with M. 

 Crepin's description of what is so called by Belgian botanists, and it is 

 like E. montaymm, var. ^, of Wilklenow ; but it does not correspond with 

 Mr. Thwaites's Stapylton plant which was sent to us many years ago, and a 

 specimen of the same has been recently sent by an obliging correspondent. 



Ml". Winter is informed that a preserved or dried specimen of Peuce- 

 danuni fahmtre is not wanted, but a living root. Any time between this 

 and Midsummer will be time enough for its removal and replanting, viz. 

 so that it may be well rooted in its new location before winter. 



Our fair correspondent of Chace Cottage is hereby informed that the 

 locality for Liliiim Martagon is a very satisfactory one. As tliis species 

 increases much by its creeping roots, and as the place where it grows is 

 old pasture, there is no risk of its disappearance now that it has again 

 reached the air and light, after its interment for so many ages as have 

 passed since Enfield Chace was disforested. We hope to have the plea- 

 sure of visiting the locality, and also that of paying our respects to the 

 fair inmates of Chace Cotta2:e.
