the second on the Isle of Ely. This Viola in the south of 

 Kngla.nd is usually found near the sea, though in the north it 

 is a mountain plant. 



These, unlike the others, are not estuarine species: they 

 inhabit dry banks above the reach of the tide. In their 

 Cambridgeshire and Suffolk localities they may be the last 

 remains of an old sea flora which has disappeared, owing to 

 its inability to live under the changed conditions which 

 ensued with the interruption of the flow of the tide. 



In closing this short account of our local flora I wish to 

 express my thanks to Mr R. P. Gregory of St John's College 

 for the unsparing help he has rendered me in preparing this 

 paper, and to Mr A. H. Evans of Clare College for information 

 on the distribution of some species.
