 the time I first received the book, I overlooked until recently the 

 strange misstatement made, as on my authority, at p. 99, that 

 Lysimachia vulgaris occurs on the rocky slopes of the Dove Valley, 

 from 600 to 1000 ft. As I have never met with L. vulgaris in either

Arenaria gothica. — I found in September numerous specimens 

 of Arenaria gothica in full flower on the mountain limestone about 

 Sulber Nook, between Clapham and Selside, at the foot of Ingle- 

 borough, on the eastern side. The localities in England already 

 recorded are^a few miles distant from the spot where I discovered it.
