stations are now allowed to be errors, although some of 

 thein were recorded on high authority ; namelj^ those in 

 Sussex, Worcester, Caernarvon, Perth and Forfar. I do 

 not know the altitude of either of the true and probable 

 stations.

Ai-ea [1] ******** 10 11 [12] * * 15. 



South limit in York, Durham. [Devon ?] 



North limit in Perth. [Westmoreland ?] 



Estimate of provinces 3. Estimate of counties 3. 



Latitude 54 — 57. Highland type of distribution. 



Arctic region. Inferarctic — Midarctic zones. 



Descends to 600 yards, less or more, in Tyne. 



Ascends to 800 yards, more or less, in E. Highlands. 



Range of mean annual temperature 41 — 37. 



Native. Ericetal ? Extremely local ; being certainly 

 known only in a few adjacent stations on Teesdale forest, 

 in Yorkshire and Durham, and near one of the summits 

 of the Breadalbane movmtains, in Perthshu'e. Possibly 

 another station in the county of Perth, Ben More, may be 

 added, as intimated in the New Botanist's Guide, vol. ii. 

 p. 473. The localities of Broad Clyst Heath and Haldon, 

 in Devon (Mr. Jacob), and that of Birkdale, in Westmore- 

 land (Rev. J. Harriman), are rejected until verified afresh 

 by some second botanist. As I am not aware of the alti- 

 tudes of the stations, they are indicated only by an ap- 

 proximate guess ; and the same remark may apply to the 

 zones of climate, as well as to the kind of situation in 

 wliich the i^lant grows.
