correcting these supposed errors, by assigning the stations 

 severally to the right species. I have seen specimens of 

 this species from Hertford (Rev. W. H. Coleman), Suffolk 

 (Mv. C. J. F. Buubury), Salop (Mr. J. E. Bo^vman), and 

 York (Mv. James Ward). Provinces 1, 6, 8, 9, and especi- 

 ally 12, may be said to require verification, equally with 

 at least half of the counties on record for A. Calama- 

 grostis.

South limit in Devon, Isle of Wight, Kent. 



Noiih limit in Aberdeen, Axgyle (Mull). 



Estimate of provinces 16. Estimate of counties 60. 



Latitude 50 — 58. English tj^pe of distribution. 



Agrarian region. Inferagrarian — Superagi-arian zones. 



Descends to the coast level, in the Peninsula. 



Ascends to 200 or 300 yards, in East Highlands. 



Range of mean annual temperature 51 — 44. 



Native. Sylvestral, Paludal. Considerably more fre- 

 quent than A. Calamagrostis, though still not a common 

 plant. Assigned to the English type on account of its 

 rarity in Scotland, with an apparently total absence from 

 the two most northerly provinces, and adjacent parts of 

 the East and West Highlands. And yet its occurrence so 

 far north as Aberdeenshii-e and the Isle of Mull, togetlier 

 with the altitude attained by it in the former county, ap- 

 proximates its area and range to those of plants assigned 

 to the British type. Dr. Macnab is reported to have foimd 

 A. Epigejos in Braemar, below the Bridge of Dee (B. S. 

 Ed. Report First, page 31); and in the Northern Flora, 

 by Dr. Alexander Murray, it is said to occur "in Braemar.
