NOTES. 91 



tonica. Primula has been much confounded with 

 Betonica (Grassmann). 



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

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

 appropriate if the Agrostemma Githago is meant. 



P. 17, 1. 15. Saginus, hwit heesel. This looks hope- 

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

 of ^Egirus helps us much. The aiyeipos is Populus 

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



P. 19, 1. 7. Vimen, lael. Mistake for Vibex ap- 

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



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

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

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



1. 14. Oleaster, unwaestmbsere 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 Botany, v. Olea. 



1. 20. hwiting treow ... cwic treow. ' Juniperus 

 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 gorse in the north, and goss in Kent. The word is 

 unknown in Devon, where Ulex is only called furze, or 

 rather vuzz. 



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

 happily corrected this oversight of the editors. It is 

 two words his seep, the sap of the Cedar. Cedria is 

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

 Leechdoms, Pref. p. Ixxxvi. 



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

 Epinal. 



1. 1 8. Melcirium, milisc apuldor. 'Melarium 

 milcapul.' Glos. Amplon. 



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