feel satisfied that a specimen from this neighbourhood, 

 pronounced by Mr. C. C. Babington to be this species, is 

 nothing more than a form of G. Mollugo." There may 

 doubtless be some exceptions to the rule, but I think that 

 in general the plants growing in damp ground will flower 

 later than the same sjiecies in drier ground.

Provmces 1 and 18 may be added to the area ; that of 

 the Peninsula on the authority of Mr. Borrer, who ob- 

 served this species on Cheddar Cliffs in Somerset ; and 

 Mr. Pascoe says that it has been reported to grow in 

 Cornwall, which will require confirmation. Mr. J. T. 

 Syme discovered it in Orkney, which satisfactorily adds 

 the province of the North Isles. The South limit may 

 now be traced in Somerset, Gloucester, Bedford ; the last- 

 named county requiring verification; and of course the 

 north limit will be extended to Orkney. The provincial 

 estimate will be increased to 11 ; and the comital estimate 

 may be taken at 15. The range of latitude will become 

 50 — 60. Besides the counties here already mentioned, 

 that of Peebles (Mr. G. S. Blackie) may be also added to 

 the former enumeration ; thus actually exceeding the 

 estimate of 15 counties, but some of those on record may 

 very likely be erroneous.

My herbarium has been kindly supplied with specimens 

 of this species fi-om Suffolk by Mr. G. S. Gibson, and from 

 Norfolk by Mr. C. C. Babington, since volume second 

 was pubKshed.

Mr. Borrer wiites that his " specimen from G. Don is 

 like that figured in Engl. Bot. as G. verrucosum." And 

 as that figure appears to have been taken from a true ex- 

 ample of G. saccharatum, it would seem that the species
