ADDITIONAL SPECIES, ETC. 331 



Dorset, Gloucester, Stafford, Hereford, Monmouth, Gla- 

 morgan, Pembroke, Northumberland, Westmoreland, 

 Cumberland, Isle of Man, and Wigton ; all of these being 

 counties of the western provinces, excepting Northumber- 

 land, where Mr. Storey finds U. Gallii. It may be ex- 

 pected in North Wales and the Mersey province, and in 

 other counties of the Peninsula, South Wales, &c. As 

 now standing in the first volume, the distribution of U. 

 nanus will be understood to include that of U. Gallii also.

Estimate of i^rovinces 1. Estimate of counties 2. 



Latitude 52 — 53. Local (Germ.) type of distribution. 



Agrarian region. Inferagrarian zone. 



Descends nearly to the coast level ? 



Ascen^ls to 50 yards, more or less. 



Range of mean annual temperatiu'e, about 49. 



Denizen. Glareal ? Very local, so far as hitherto as- 

 certained ; being known only in the two counties above 

 indicated. Perhaps it grows also about two miles ^west- 

 ward of Chester city, in ground which once constituted a 

 part of the estuary of the Dee, before the formation of the 

 new Channel. But the state of my specimens, picked 

 late in the year of 1850, leaves this station quite uncer- 

 tain. The fact therefore remains, that we yet know M. 

 sylvestris as occurring in Suffolk and Norfolk onlj^
