wishes to state that our remarks with respect to the Storthes Hall locality 

 of Cardamine amara are in error. He was not really aware that it was 

 found there, and that his including it in his list did not refer to that 

 locality, but referred generally to the district. We gladly make this 

 correction, as, knowing that it had been planted by the stream at Storthes 

 Hall, we were under the misapprehension that he had that spot in his 

 mind.

 president, Mr. T. Lister, gave a few notes of birds at this season ; amongst 

 them were flocks of wild geese, ducks, and gulls, on the 8th instant, and 

 throughout the month starlings, young and old, appeared in immense 

 flocks. Herons and kingfishers were observed in the Cannon Hall pools 

 and the valley of the Dearne. He named the most noteworthy birds

 great and lesser black-backed gulls, black-headed gulls, in Dublin Bay, 

 on the Lifiey, and in Wicklow, also on the voyage, with occasional terns, 

 cormorants, many of these in Wales ; also ravens, daws, and m©orpipits, 

 above the peak of Snowdon. August 24th, Mr. Hailstone writes that
