96 REPORT—1863. 
The author, for the purpose of ascertaining the mode of growth of the stalk 
through the entire cone, had three cones sawn through longitudinally, and in all 
the same undivided growth was proved. The cones were quite healthy, and the 
seeds well formed and advancing to maturity. 
List of rarer Pheenogamous Plants discovered in the South-East of Durham 
since 1829. By Joun Hoae, M.A., F.R.S., F.LS. 
In the year 1829 the author communicated some catalogues of natural history, 
as an ‘ Appendix” to the second edition of the History of Stockton-on-Tees. 
At the last Meeting of the British Association at York, he enlarged the “Cata- 
logue of Birds,” by including all the more rare kinds which had been recently 
detected in that vicinity. So it was his intention on the present occasion to haye 
done the same with the rarer Phenogamous plants that he had met with in the 
south-eastern portion of the county of Durham since 1829, and to have added 
some descriptive notices respecting the rarest, with their habitats. Time, however, 
had failed him; and consequently he could only present to this Section a bare list 
of the different plants alphabetically arranged. 
Mr. Hogg very shortly mentioned the geological divisions of that district ; and, 
in pointing out the great extent of alluvial deposits and salt-marshes by the river 
Tees, as well as along its wide estuary, the many sand-links and limestone-cliffs 
on the sea-coast, he remarked that all these different formations were highly favour- 
able for the growth of various plants. Whilst several rarer kinds had been lately 
introduced with ballast used in the making of the many railways, others, he re- 
gretted to say, had, after a lapse of many years, entirely disappeared. 
Scientific and full descriptions of some of the more interesting varieties were 
necessarily reserved for a future communication.
