CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CORNISH FLORA. 135 



Agrimonia odorata, Mill. First notice of this plant is said to 

 be in Annals and Magazines of Natural Sistory, Series 2, vol. ix, 

 p. 363, 1853. As a matter of fact it was mentioned by Mr. Joseph. 

 Woods in the "Transactions" of the Penzance Natural History 

 and Antiquarian Society for 1852. 



Scrophularia Scorodonia, Linn. In this instance Mr. Clarke 

 quoted the following from Ray's Synopsis Methodica Stirpium Brit., 

 ed. 3, 1724, and on the strength of it establishes the "first 

 record:" [Found] by Mr. Edward Lhwyd near the sea-shore 

 about St. Ives in Cornwall." Hay's information, although 

 unacknowledged, had been gleaned from a letter from Edward 

 Lhwyd in Philosophical Transactions, vol. xxvii, p. 527, 1712, and 

 to that date must the first printed reference to Scrophularia 

 Scorodonia be assigned. 



Allium triquetrwn, Linn. This plant was first recorded in 

 the Journal of Botany, vol. xi, p. 206, 1873, and not in the same 

 publication two years later. 



It remains to thank the several ladies and gentlemen whose 

 names appear in this paper for so liberally placing the results of 

 their own investigations at my disposal, and for the loan of a 

 number of valuable books. Gratitude is also expressed to the 

 Committee of the Penzance Library for granting me the use of 

 the late Dr. Ealfs' MSS., and to Messrs. J. G. Baker, F.E.S., 

 J. Britten, F.L.S., Arthur Bennett, F.L.S., E. G. Baker, F.L.S., 

 and the Eev. E. F. Linton, F.L.S., for their valuable advice on 

 many critical species.
