Cerastium vulgatum, and dwarfed specimens of Plantago major, the 
latter being mostly noted at the head of Sulber Nick. 
n point of elevation the three stations vary very little. If we 
take the Sulber Nick station as a standard of computation, this 
being given as 1,175 feet, the Borrins pasture station may be 
estimated at about 1,100 feet, whilst Sulber pasture and the adjoin- 
ing station would be about 1,150. 
nce writing the above a second visit has been paid to the 
Sulber Nick locality, and further discoveries of A. gothica have been 
made, particulars of which will follow in another paper.
