NOTES. 91 



tonica. Primula has been mucli confounded with 

 Betonica (Grassraann). 



1. 7. Citocacia. Mr. Mowat suggests that this is 

 for aiTOKaKLa, the bane of the corn ; which is very 

 appropriate if the Agrostemma Githago is meant. 



P. 17, 1. 15. Saginus, hwithsesel. This looks hope- 

 less, and I do not see that Mr. Cockayne's conjecture 

 of ^girus helps us much. The aHytipos is Populus 

 nigra, the black poplar. Leechdoms, Pref. p. Ixxxvi. 



P. 19, 1. 7. Vimen, Isel. Mistake for Vibes ap- 

 parently. ' Vibex, plaga ex virga.' Glos. Amplon. 



1. 9. Pirorium . . . Pinis. If we compare pp. 52 

 and 59, we shall see that Pirus is for Papirus. For 

 Icefer is a flag, and Icsfer-hed, a place where flags grow. 



1. 14. Oleaster, unwsestmbasre ele-beam. The wild 

 olive tree, whose fruit is small and worthless. And 

 so the word Oleaster is used by botanists now. See 

 Treasury of JBotany, v. Olea. 



1. 20. hwitingtreow , . . cwictreow. ' Juniper us 

 quickentre.' Bart. 



1. 27. Accidinetum, gost. I do not know what the 

 Latin word is, but gost is probably the same as gorst. 

 The form gorst is still current in Shropshire, while it 

 is (jorse in the north, and goss in Kent. The word is 

 unknown in Devon, where Ulex is only called /itrse, or 

 rather vuzz, 



P. 20, 1. 8. Cedria, hissnsp. Mr. Cockayne has 

 happily corrected this oversight of the editors. It is 

 two words Ms svp, the sap of the Cedar. Cedria is 

 KfSpia (Diosc.) the resin that exudes from the cedar. 

 Leechdoms, Pref. p. Ixxxvi. 



P. 22, 1. 15. Myrtus, wir. 'Martus, uuyr.' Glos. 

 Epinal. 



1. 18. Melarium, inilisc apuldor. 'Melarium 

 milcapul.' Glos. Amplon. 



P. 24, 1. 4. crop leac. ' Scordion, croweleke.' Bart.
