in his frugal fare. Some of the species are delicacies, and form accom- 

 paniments to a luxurious meal. It is comfortable to have a hot potato 

 with meat, whether roast or boiled. This celebrated esculent is accept- 

 able to every palate, and forms no inconsiderable portion of the diet, both 

 of the rich aiid the poor. 



Eakly Names of English Plants. 



I believe many of your readers are desirous of knowing the English 

 names of plants ; I send a few which I found in a work published in 

 1670, and as I do not know them by those names, I shall feel obliged if 

 you, or some of your con-espondents, will give me the other names by 

 which they are called. — MuskmiUions, Maiden-blush, Sops in Wine, Six- 

 leaved Primrose, True Love, Crowtoes, Priest Crown, London Button, 

 Lady Gloves, Ijiricumphancy, Eose Parsley, Irish Madam, Eocket GroUout, 

 Capon's Tail, Nose-bleed. 



In other early books I find tlie names Spoonewurt, Chesboule, Culver- 

 keys, Whincopipe, Kedlock Harlocks, Coventry Bells, Passe Flower or 

 Eed Mathes. S. B. 



To Collectors who exchange Specimens. 



A Con-espondent of Yorkshire, who has several duplicates of good plants, 

 is desirous of offering them in exchange for South of England specimens. 

 Botanists in Kent, the Isle of Wight, Devon, and Cornwall, might be able 

 to supply our correspondent with what he wants, for which they would 

 receive an equivalent in plants of a different district. Addj'css to the Pub- 

 lisher or the Editor of this Journal.
