Ohs. — E. vagans (Linn.) In answer to an enquiry addressed 

 to him, Dr. Burkitt, of Waterf ord, has kindly informed us that 

 in 1836 he gathered a specimen on the cliffs in the townland 

 called Islandicane, west of Tramore, Waterford ; this speci- 

 men, which we have not been able to trace, was sent with 

 other heaths from the same locality to the late Dr. Ball, who 

 is the authority for the name of the species. It is very 

 desirable that the locality should be examined afresh, as Dr. 

 E. Perceval Wright has searched the whole length of coast 

 from Anne's-town to the " Metal Man,'' without discovering 

 any trace of the Cornish Heath.
