116 Regulations of Admission to tlie Museum and Library, 



represented, and of these I shall unhesitatingly insert all good 

 specimens which may be sent. They are the water-plants which 

 cover the ponds in early summer with their white flowers, and pre- 

 sent a great variety of forms. The collection already possesses 

 several very interesting forms, and some of the species not recorded 

 in Mr. Flower's e( Flora." The ponds in which they grow often 

 dry up in summer, yet the plants are not destroyed, but re-appear 

 when there is sufficient water in the spring. A series from a 

 succession of ponds on the Overton Downs will interest those who 

 are paying attention to the subject. Specimens of Tklaspi perfoliatum, 

 Sinapis muralis, Silene noctiflora } Caucalis daucoides, Carduus 

 tuherosuSj Cineraria campestris, Monotropa Hypopitys, Polemonium 

 cceruleum, Orohanche elatior, Euphorbia platyphylla, Ornitliogalum 

 pyrenaicum, Alopecurus fulvus, together with some Rubi and Salices 

 not recorded in the " Flora/'' will also be found, some of them quite 

 new to the county, and not known hitherto to occur so far south. 



Still these are but very few of the rarities of Wiltshire, which I 

 hope to increase ere many months have passed.
