238 Dr. W. M. Dobie on two new species of Floscularia. 



place is named the " Boggy Park/' from an elevated quagmire 

 in the meadow abounding in Pinguicula vulgaris, Anagallis tenella, 

 Parnassia palustris, &c. It lies nearly two miles south of the 

 Rossett station of the Shrewsbury and Chester Railway, at the 

 base of the slope which descends from the table-land of Gresford. 

 This eastern declivity of North Wales commands, at an elevation 

 little exceeding a hundred feet above the level of the sea, a view 

 not to be surpassed for extent and beauty ; — on the north stretch- 

 ing over the peninsula of Wirral ; and in some states of the at- 

 mosphere even to the southern mountains of Cumberland ; on the 

 south to the Wrekin far into Shropshire; eastward to the Peck- 

 forton, Delamere and Lancashire Hills ; — the towers of Chester 

 and to Beeston Castle over the Vale Royal ; in clear weather to 

 the mountainous district where Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Lan- 

 cashire unite — a distance not less than forty miles.

the rounded knob-like extremity of the lobe are supposed to be 



cut short.
