ji mens so curiously intermediate between marina and rubra, 



jj as not to be referred to either without hesitation. Mr. 



!| Babington would seem to divide these intermediates 



again, into salina and media; referring the former to 



marina, the latter to rubra, as subordinate varieties. The 



" media " of the London Catalogue, third edition, either 

 i 

 j includes both of Mr. Babington's varieties, or corresponds 



I with salina more especially. Subject to some doubts as 



I to what is really intended by the name, Sp. media has

ru^'i <vA '«'*>-'^l3j,a and marina to the order of Illecebracese or Parony- 



^^T^^- chiacese, under the generic name of Lepigonum. Dr. 



Arnott does the same, but under the generic name of 



Spergularia. Babington's variety seems to be Arnott's 



typical S. manna, and mce versa.-*^ ,, '^

Miss Boswell finds this in Orkney, as I learn from Mr. 



Syme ; though it is possible that the plant of Orkney may 



be the " media " variety of marina ; for which see the 



preceding species.

This also has been found in Orkney by Miss Boswell ; 

 thus confirming Lowe's list so far.

Said to have been found in Cornwall (Ray ; Jones) ; 

 but the habitat will require verification. The county of 

 Hants may be named in the south limit, on faith of a 

 specimen from Dr. Bromfield ; that of Dorset doubtfully 

 so, on authority of Dr. Pulteney? The Rev. W. W. New- 

 bould suggests that Salt's station " about Maltby ", York- 

 shire, is likely to be correct ; and if it prove to be so, a
