Botanolog}'' ; that of Mersey somewhat douhtfully, founded 

 on the explanations in the Flora of Liverpool; that of 

 Lakes, on the testimony of Mr. Daniel Oliver, who be- 

 lieves that he saw the plant near Moorhouse Tarn in 

 Cumberland, some years ago, without feeling now quite 

 certain on the ijoint. Mr. Pascoe reports it from Corn- 

 wall, on the authority of Mrs. Grylls. Assuming the ac- 

 curacy of these reports, the species is now known in 13 

 provinces and about 36 counties.

The altitude of 900 yards, mentioned in the first volume, 

 has been inadvertently assigned to the station of this 

 plant on Ben Lawers, instead of to that on Ben Nevis. 

 The error should be corrected, because the altitude of 900 

 yards under the snow rocks of Ben Nevis, and the altitude 

 of 900 yards on Ben Lawers, have different zones of vege- 

 tation ; that of the latter being much less arctic than that 

 of the former.

Province 6 to be added in the area, on faith of Mr. Mot-

 in Mr. Pascoe's list, as a plant reported to grow in Corn- 

 wall, but not observed in the county by himself. In the 

 Flora of Forfarshire, Mr. Gardiner intimates that he has 

 not found it near Dundee, as recorded by George Don.

Province 9 to be added in the area, on authority of Mr. 

 J. T. Syme, who observed the plant in Lancashire. The 

 estimate of 30 counties is likely too low. The type of 

 distribution may be as near to the English as to any 

 other.

 to number 17 in the line of area. But that province
