62. CHENOPODIACE^. 319 



Descends to the coast level, in the Peninsula. 



Ascends to 150 yards, in East Highlands. 



Range of mean annual temperature 52 — 45. 



Native. Agi-estal, Viatical. The only really common 

 species of its genus in Britain. Here, as in some other 

 instances, a sort of contradiction is implied in the distribu- 

 tion shown by the formula ; the present species being esti- 

 mated to occur in 82, that is, in all the counties, and yet 

 the north limit not being stated to include the Orkney Isles, 

 which are more northward than Sutherland. The explana- 

 tion is shortly thus : the number of counties is set down 

 on an " Estimate," or a guess according to probability ; 

 whereas the stated " North limit " shows the most northerly 

 coimties or isles in which the species has been actually as- 

 certained or reported to occur on admissible authority.

South limit in Dorset,- Hant s, Sussex, Kent. 



North limit in Northumberland, Durham, York. 



Estimate of provinces 8. Estimate of counties 15. 



Latitude 50 — 56. Germanic tjrpe of distribution. 



Agrarian region. Inferagrarian — Midagrarian zones. 



Descends to the coast level, in the Channel. 



Ascends to 100 or 200 yards, in England. 



Range of mean annual temperature 51 — 47. 



Native. Agrestal, Viatical. A scarce species, though 

 likely rendered more scarce in appearance through being 

 overlooked as a form of C. album, which it much resembles. 

 In addition to the counties above mentioned, it has been 

 recorded in Sun-ey, Middlesex, Norfolk, Cambridge, Salop 

 and Leicester; but its actual stations are vincertain, and 

 some of them have proved only temporary.
