C. parviflorum, which name I shall use for it in 

 the future — Cynoglossum corollis pallide coeru- 

 leis calyce subaequantes urceolatis fauce callis 

 clausa : antheris intra tubum corollas, nigrican- 

 tes. In fact I see no difference in the parts of 

 fructification among this species, the CVnoglos- 

 sura officinale & the plant which I take to be 

 Myosotis Lappula.— The seeds of these three 

 plants are very much alike in structure likewise, 

 for which reason I think, the Myosotis Lappula 

 to be a Cynoglossum too. — Near Mr Geddes I 

 found the Blitum virgatum in fruit, & in his 

 mill dam a monstrous thick cover of Chara fra- 

 gilis, which emitted a most horrid smell, the dam 

 being broke & dry, & the whole of this Chara 

 turn'd to the sun, & changed its green colour, 

 which it has, when under water, to a clear white; 

 at my first coming to the creek I thought the 

 bottom of the pond or dam was a kind of marie 

 by its colour ; but getting down to it, 1 found it 

 to be the Chara which had covered the bottom 

 all over. 



Mr Geddes was not at home & would not re- 

 turn untill next day : Mrs Geddes however told ; 

 me, that if any letter of the kind I expected, had, 

 been come to her husband's hands, she should 

 have heart something about it, but she had not. 

 I therefore returned towards the Hollow again. 

 I observed plenty of Chenopodium anthelmintU 

 cum along the roadsides, which is very common 

 about here ; Potentilla hirta or Norwegica — 

 Geum floribus albis parvis & the Thalictrum 

 dioicum mas & femina in full flower.
