398 CALENDAR, 1819-1820. 



and of late several Foxes have appeared in this neighbourhood; 

 but this animal is, in general, very rare here, though so common 

 in the bordering parts of Surrey. 



The following plants, to which reference is made sometimes 

 in this Calendar, have been discovered since the publication 

 of the Flora Tunbrigiensis : 



Drosera lonyifolia, Spiloma decolorant, 



Fcstnca calamaria, Lecidea petraea, 



Parmelia perforata, Lecidea scabrosa, 



Parmelia borreri, Lecidea ferruginea, 



Parmelia furfur -acea, Polytrichinn urniyernm, 



Parmelia Clementiana, Tragopogon porrifolius, and 



Parmelia sophodes, Rosa Micrantia. 



After continued research, I cannot find that Papaver 

 somniferum is wild hereabouts. This plant has been put down 

 as such from specimens escaped by the fall of seeds from 

 garden plants ; neither are the other four species, so common 

 elsewhere, by any means numerous in this neighbourhood. 



1820. JAN. 14th. At this hybernal season of the year 

 there is, necessarily, very little movement in the vegetable 

 kingdom. The Fauna alone presents objects of interest. The 

 weather is still intensely cold, which drives many sea birds 

 to the inland parts of the country. The Wild Duck Anas 

 boschas is very abundant ; and Wild Geese are said to have 

 been heard performing their aerial migrations by night. 

 Numerous small birds are found frozen to death on the 

 ground. The Thermometer fell to 10, that is, 10 below 

 of Farenheit. 



21st. Weather milder and thawed, but dark and gloomy. 

 Narcissi begin to flower in warm rooms in the house. A 

 curious variety of N. Tazetta, from Holland, is come into 

 bloom in my room, having a duplication of petals, two of 

 which are placed within the nectary.
