ADDITIONAL NOTES, ETC. 501 



Dr. Bromfield intimates that it may likely exist in 

 the Isle of Wight. The counties of Surrey, Middle- 

 sex, Cambridge, Huntiugdon, and Northampton, may be 

 deemed certain. Those of Glamorgan and York, in addi- 

 tion to the two before mentioned, are probable, but not 

 certain.

A second Scottish county, that of Kirkcudbright, may 

 be added to the north Hmit, on authority of Mr. Peter 

 Gray.

Province 9 may be added in the area. To the counties 

 already enumerated in volume second for this species I 

 am only enabled to add that of Cardigan, recorded on the 

 authority of Mr. C. C. Babington, and that of Lancaster, 

 on authority of Dr. Dickinson's Flora of Liverpool. The 

 latter will add province 9 to the ascertained area. Dum- 

 barton has been reported to me for P. maritimum, more 

 probably P. Raii being the species intended. 



940. Polygonum maritimum, vol. ii. p. 339. 



Tliis species would appear to have become extinct on 

 the coast of Hants, or else to have been erroneously re- 

 corded as fomid there. I am not prepared to establish 

 the idea as a j)ositive fact ; but I do fear that the Hants 

 plant was P. Raii, not true P. maritimum. 



942. Polygonum dumetorum, vol. ii. p. 340. 



Mr. Babington has favoured me with a specimen of this 

 species from Somerset. Dr. Bromfield has added the 

 county of Hants to the few others on record. The ascer- 

 tained provincial and comital census is expressed by 3 

 and 5 ; but how far the estimate should exceed those Nos., 

 it may be difficult at present to say.

I am at a loss to say whether the following passage
