of intermediate forms or links of comiexion, must be 

 more weighty tlian that afforded by differences between 

 extreme forms only. The seeds of C. radicans have 

 proved imperfect and non-vegetating with me. Has any 

 other cultivator been more successful ? 



28. Eranthis hyemalis, vol. i. p. 93. 



Occurs in the grounds of Wimbledon Park, Surrey, 

 along with the Anemone apennina, doubtless planted 

 there originally. My herbarium is indebted to Mr. Henry 

 Taylor, for beautifully dried specimens from this locality. 



29. Hellehorus viridis, vol. i. p. 94.

 species, gathered in August, near Arnside Knott, jprobably 

 within Westmoreland, where the jjlant is stated by him 

 to have " quite the a]ppearance of a native, certainly a

 taken in tracing the north line or limit. Mr. Pascoe in- 

 cludes this species in his list of plants seen in Cornwall, 

 but it is marked as an uncertain native.

An error of the pen occurs in the fifth line from the 

 bottom of page 95, which destroys the meaning ; the name 

 ' foetidus ' being there written instead of ' viridis.' 



31. Aqiiilegia vulgaris, vol. i. p. 96. 



Mr. Croall would extend the native limits of this plant 

 northward to Forfar or Kincardine ; as we are told in the 

 Flora of Forfarshire, on liis authority, that " in the Den 

 of Morphie it appears to be indigenous, covering some 

 acres of steep brae never cultivated, and at a considerable 

 distance from houses, and where I do not think it likelj^ 

 that any have ever been." Eemarkably enough, this is
