cond Part, now published, the contents of 
which we shall shortly give a brief account, 
completes the first volume. 
Mr. R. Ball of Mountjoy Square, Dub- 
lin, has obligingly communicated the intel- 
ligence of Erica vagans having been as- 
certained to be a native of Ireland, in a 
letter of which the foliowing is an extract, 
dated Dec. 30th, 1836. 
* My friend, Dr. Burkett of Waterford, 
sent me, with a parcel of native plants, 
gathered by himself last summer, a speci- 
men of Erica vagans, which I find he dis- 
covered on an islet on the coast of Water- 
ford, near Tramore." This makes Ireland 
equally rich with England in the number 
of species of this beautiful genus; thoug 
each still boasts of one which the other 
does not possess—Ireland of Erica Medi- 
terranea, England of E. ciliaris.
