uliginal almost step by step, thus ; S. cernua, nivalis, ri- 

 vularis, oppositifolia, stellaris, aizoides, Hirculus; though 

 I am not quite sure of the position of S. rivularis and S. 

 Hirculus in the transition from rock to swamp. 



767. Rhinanthus angustifolius, vol. ii. p. 206. (R. major.) 

 Mr. Pascoe marks this as a species reported to occur 

 in Cornwall, but which has not been seen in that county 

 by himself. The change of name above indicated, from 

 ' major ' to ' angustifolius,' was adopted in the third edi- 

 tion of the London Catalogue, following the sixth edition 

 of the British Flora; but it appears to be of doubtful 

 propriety ; and Mr. C. C. Babington still adheres to the 

 former name in the third edition of his Manual. 



769. Melampyrum arvense, vol. ii. p. 209. 



The county of Essex (Mr. G. S. Gibson !) may be added 

 to those enumerated for this species. Dr. Bromfield 

 deems the species introduced into the Isle of Wight ; so 

 that Herts and Essex may be perhaps more apj)ropriately 

 given for the south limit. And probably the term of 

 ' Colonist ' would be better applied to the plant than that 

 of 'Native.' 



770. Melampyrum pratense, vol. ii. p. 209. 



The south limit may be extended to Cornwall, on au- 

 thority of Mr. Pascoe. 



774, b. Scroplmlaria Ehrliarti, vol. ii. p. 212. 



Province 5 may be added in the area, on faith of a re- 

 cord of its occurrence in Herefordshire, given in the 

 Botanical Gazette, ii. 305. 



777. Scrophularia vernalis, vol. ii. p. 214. 



The term ' septal ' may perhaps be more appropriate 

 than ' viatical ' for this species, if it be retained as suffi- 

 ciently British to warrant its position in the category of 

 ' denizen.'
