 The south limit is extended westward into Cornwall, hy 

 Mr. G. S. Gibson and the Kev. C. A. Johns. 



21. Ranunculus bulbosus, vol. i. p. 88. 



The north limit may he extended westward to Islay,

 Stables. It has never been observed in Orkney by Mr. 

 J. T. Syme, and cannot yet be received as indigenous in

Province 12 may be added in the area, on faith of Mr.

 two species. The argument derived from the existence
