p. 176, but there is not a particle of evidence to show that he 

 ever attempted anything without a useful agricultural purpose, 

 or that he had the knowledge of the strata and soils to attempt 

 introducing a small and not striking species like Maianthemum. 

 Another large wood not more than a quarter of a mile away on the 

 same estate stands entirely on the ancient river gravel, and would 

 have been a more suitable locality. During the last six years 

 Rhododendrons and Foxgloves have been planted and sown in 

 the wood by Mr. H. M. Hawley, but not near the Maianthemum 

 locality. Before that time the wood was absolutely free from 

 aliens. Miss Rawnsley brought this species to my notice. 



Convallaria majalis L.f Native, and common enough in sandy 

 limestone and chalk woods. Divs. 2.3.6.7.8.10.13.16. 



Allium Scorodoprasum L.t Native in Div. 2. Divs. 2.5. 



My friend Mr. F. A. Lees says in the Outline Flora : 

 [Scorodoprasum (?) 1847, Anderson. * Arenarium.' Probably 

 the preceding]. The preceding species was A, carina turn L , 

 and the square brackets excluded it, as I thought rightly at the 

 time from our country list, despite the record for Div. 5 of the 

 Miller- Anderson List. Before 1895 A. Scorodoprasum L. 

 turned up in Miller's locality and in Broughton Wood, 

 and also the original MS. of the Rev. J. K. Miller (1842) 

 had been found and printed. This proved that Miller's plant 

 was the A. arenarium L. and Sm. ? Engl. Flo., vol. 2, p. 134 

 •but not of Smith's Engl. Bot, 1st ed., Tab. 1358, which 

 is A. sibiricum L., though the description that accompanies 

 it is that of A. arenarium L. Mr. Lees wrote to me later 

 (20/695); — C AU that Millers Walkeringham Flora record of 

 A. arenarium Sm. does is to remove the brackets and query 

 from A. Scorodoprasum L., in my Outline Flora. I saw it by 

 Trent side above Gainsborough, towards Walkerith, in 1893, 

 myself. I had it in my vasculum and showed it to you.' He did. 



Allium vineale L.t Native. Divs. 5.7.11.15.16. 



Vak. compacturn Thuill.f Native. Div. 9. Mablethorpe, 1893; 

 Lees and Peacock. 



Allium oleraceum L-f Native. Divs. 2.5.7.9. 

 Allium carinatum L.f Alien. Divs. 5.15. (F.A.L.). 



allium ScHCExopRASiM L. A Thompsonian record for Div. 12. 



Allium sibiricum L. See above under A. Scorodoprasum L. This 

 first appeared in the Britten-White List, of 1872. Mr. J. Britten 

 has told me it was his rendering of the Miller -Anderson 

 A. arenarium of 1847. If Mr. Miller had named from the
