numero casuque concordant.'' Is there no fear of affronting or 

 offending Priscian's ghost among botanists ? 



Query, is variety repandium, p. 60, the correct orthography of 

 this adjective ? 



Is Mann UAL, p. 94, the usual spelling of a derivative of manus ? 



On p. 93 there are the following remarkable examples of nomen- 

 clature: — Cuscuta europea, Pulmonaria angustifolium — something 

 worse than spelling (error maximus in scholis grammaticalibus) , 

 Oxyria reinformis — the right letters are all present, but they are 

 not in their right places ; Tophielda palustris, before mentioned. 



In list of errata, for F. triflora read B. triflora : error maximus; 

 it should be B. trijlorus, by the rule Adjectiva. participia et pro- 

 nomina cum substantivis concordant genere, numero casuque. 



Note. — The writer has a strong impression that Plantago mari- 

 tima grows near the Rye-loaf, Settle ; and he also thinks that 

 he observed Armeria maritima in the same locality. Ask Mr. 

 Tatham : he knows more about the botany of Settle than any 

 living botanist. 



As a second edition of this useful Manual will soon be required, 

 it is to be hoped that these minor blemishes will disappear. 

 The work is warmly recommended to all botanists who intend 

 visiting this beautiful picturesque district.

After this number of the ' Phytologist' was sent to press,

 time is lost in here warmly commending it to the patronage of 

 our readers. 



In external appearance, it resembles the MS. Magazine of the 

 Glasgow naturalists, only it is lithographed, and is issued in 

 monthly parts, not in volumes. It has, besides, another distin- 

 guishing feature, viz. several copies are in circulation among the 

 members, and it is sold at the very moderate price of threepence. 



Communications, orders for the periodical, are requested to be 

 sent to Mr. Ker, 4, Basnet Street, Liverpool. This new candi- 

 date has our suffrages and good wishes.
