1820, says:—‘ Tid Goat, near Wisbeach. Th. Martyn was 
most particularly hazy about topography. Tydd Gote, as the 
name is spelt on the last Ordnance Map, is miles north of 
the Isle of Ely, a border parish in South-East Lincolnshire. 
If he took his specimens on the North Lever Main Drain it 
was in all probability in Cambridgeshire, but may have been in 
Lincolnshire. If at the junction of this drain with the Nene 
or in the river below, certainly in Lincolnshire. If he took 
them in the Tydd Gote hamlet he was in Lincolnshire ; if in 
Cambridgeshire he took them in Tydd St. Giles parish. 
Presumably it was on the then salt marshes of the Nene, which 
have long since been inclosed, and which were in Tydd Gote 
in Tydd St. Mary’s Parish, Lincolnshire. The river Nene of 
1763 being wholly in Cambridgeshire, the estuary in Lincoln- 
shire. I have not the slightest doubt in my own mind that 
Mr. Skrimshire’s records (R. Relhan’s F/ora Cantab., 1802, pp. 
103 and 327) for Bela maritima 1., ‘Below Wisbech,’ and 
Atrifiex pedunculata L., ‘In the salt marshes,’ both refer to the 
then salt marshes which are now certainly part of Tydd 
St. Mary’s parish; though in the last case, ‘By the river side 
a dtttde below Wisbech’ implies that this species was found in 
the then river, and so in Cambridgeshire, too. I understand 
the boundaries of the parishes and county were not accurately 
settled till 1831—-changes of importance are now under con- 
sideration. 
Saponaria vaccaria L.+ Alien. Divs. 3.13. 
Cerastium tetrandrum Curt. Native. Divs. 4.9.12. 
CerasTivm aLpinum L. After hunting fruitlessly through all the 
older Herbaria, I agree with Mr. F. A. Lees this was another 
mistake of T. Martyn’s Plante Cantab., 1763. The plant must 
have been C. arvense L., which is growing there now. 
Stellaria nemorum L. Native. Divs. 2.7. Broughton Wood, 
1856; Rev. W. Fowler, Herb. Brit. Mus. Damp wood at 
Tealby, 1877-79; F. A. Lees. I have also a note that it has 
been taken in Diy. 1 3, at Fulbeck, but have seen no specimens.

both cases on railways.
