SSO HISTOEY OF BEITISH TEENS. 



The var. palcacea seems very common in Scotland. We have 

 observed it at Tarbet, Dumbartonshire, with a remarkable vari- 

 ation ; Polmont, Stuiingshire ; and in several parts of Argyle- 

 shire and Perthshire. Mr. Backhouse finds it in the Clova moun- 

 tains, Forfarshu-e, and also in the English counties of Durham 

 and York ; and Miss Beever at Ambleside, in "Westmoreland. 

 We have seen it from Torq^uay and elsewhere in Devonshire ; 

 Hastings and other parts of Sussex, Dr. AllcMn ; Tunbridge 

 Wells and other parts of Kent, G. B. IVollaston ; Chobham and 

 other parts of Surrey. Mr. Newman adds the counties of Wor- 

 cester, Hereford, and Salop. In Wales it seems also plentiful ; 

 Mr. HanTccy has sent it to us from Dolgelly, at the base of Cader 

 Idris, in ]\Ierionethshire ; Mr. T. Prichard, from Ruthin, in 

 Denbighshire ; 3Tr. Newman records it as occurring in profu- 

 sion at Hafod, Cardiganshire ; and it is, no doubt, widely dis- 

 persed both in North and South Wales. In Ireland Dr. AllcJiin 

 informs us that he found it very abundant ; and he has preserved 

 specimens from near Dingle and Caliir Conree. Mr. C. Jackson 

 sends it from Guernsey, as well as a multifid form of it ; and it 

 occurs in Jersey. A remarkable narrow elongate lanceolate form 

 of it (var. Pinderi) was found near Elter Water, by the Rev. G. 

 Finder.
