APPENDIX. 141 



On the drier and elevated portions Teesdalia nudicaulis and 

 Arenaria rubra are plentiful. Cuscuta Epithymum is frequently 

 to be seen in tangled masses, profusely overrunning the Ericae, 

 Ulex nan us, &c. Anthemis nobilis is also plentiful, and its 

 perfume is quite overpowering on a warm sunny evening ; this 

 plant also occurs upon Highdown Heath, in the vicinity of Pleck 

 Pond, on the margins of which grow Veronica scutellata and Lit- 

 torella lacustris, the latter in abundance. The moors skirting 

 Witley Common on the north, will afford, amongst other good 

 things, Carduus pratensis and Eriophoruin vaginatum. Upon 

 the margin of Forked Pond, Typha angustifolia is plentiful. 

 Arnoseris pusilla abounds in a gravelly field behind the public 

 house at the Hammer Ponds. The extensive heaths in the di- 

 rection of Thursley cannot fail to attract attention, and will amply 

 repay the trouble of investigation. In the turf-pits will be found 

 Utricularia minor, Rhynchospora alba, the Eriophori, and a host 

 of bog-plants. Elstead and Puttenham Commons are equally 

 prolific. On the latter, at Cut-mill Pond, immediately bordering 

 upon the parish of Godalming, the interesting addition of Elatine 

 Hydropiper to the southern Flora has been made by Mr. Walter 

 Reeves, for I have no doubt " Cuck mills " is a misprint in the 

 4 Annals and Magazine of Natural History' for CUT Mill, as this 

 is within five miles of Farnharn, and I can hear of no such place 

 as CUCK Mills. This very rare plant grows plentifully here, ac- 

 companied by E. hexandra, and is invariably submerged, whilst 

 the latter not only grows luxuriantly under the surface, but ex- 

 tends itself upon the sandy margins that are occasionally covered 

 with water. On the margin of the same pond occurs Limosella 

 aquatica, and in a deep morass under the park-paling of Hamp- 

 ton Lodge will be found Potentilla Comarum and Malaxis 

 paludosa.* 



Omitting the mention of Phaenogamous plants of a less interest- 

 ing character, I proceed in conclusion to notice the Cryptogamic 

 productions of the district. And from the foregoing description 

 of the geological features and general aspect of the country, it
