appear to be recorded for that division of Lancashire in Topographical 
Botany, although Walney Isle was doubtless the habitat—‘‘ one of 
the iles about Lankashire”—where it was found by Mr. Thomas 
Hesket, as recorded in Parkinson’s rer p. 767 (1640). It is 
duly included in Baker's Flora of the Lake District. Here, too,

The portion before us, judging from the few cases tested, seems 
more carefully done than the former, and the corrections we indi-
