Weston in Somerset. And Mr. Francis Brent communi- 

 cated si)ecimens to the Botanical Society of London, 

 gathered on the Banks of the Taff, near Cardiff, Glamor- 

 ganshire, in October, 1848. The former confirms the spe- 

 cies to the province of Peninsula ; while the latter 

 habitat adds that of South Wales. Whether or not the 

 plant should be deemed a denizen in those two counties, 

 I am myself not able to say.

Province G may be added in the area, on authority of 

 Mr. Babington, and also of Mr. Motley.

Province 2 may be added in the area, on authority 

 of Mr. Borrer, vrho finds the plant in Sussex. That 

 county will accordingly be substituted for Surrey in the 

 south limit. And the range of latitude will be made 

 50 — 57. But it has become evident since the first volume 

 was written, that some confusion has occm-red between 

 this plant and CEnanthe fluviatilis ; the name of Cicuta 

 having been misaj)plied to examples of the OEnanthe. It 

 is thus rendered probable that the true Cicuta virosa may 

 be a rarer plant than the sketch of distribution would im- 

 ply ; and hence that my individual experience was not so 

 bad a test as was supposed. The provincial area may be 

 taken to rest on the following authorities, added after the 

 names of the provinces ; namely. Peninsula (Mr. Thomas 

 Clark !), Channel (Mr. Borrer), Thames (Mr. Varenne), 

 Ouse (Mr. Marsham ! Mr. Paget !), Severn (Mr. Bowman), 

 Trent (Mr. B. Carrington, &c.), Mersey (Mr. J. B. Wood, 

 &c.), Humber (B. G.), Tyne (WalUs), Lakes (Contr.), 

 West Lowlands (Mr. Peter Gray; Dr. J. D. Hooker!), 

 E. Lowlands (Dr. Parsons ; Rev. James Duncan), East 

 Highlands (Dr. Dewar ! Mr. W. A. Stables !), West High- 

 lands (Dr. J. D. Hooker!). Of these provinces, the
