FLOWERING PLANTS. 



The Henbane. — With regard to Mr. Peacock's note on this 

 subject in the April ' Naturalist ' : as I have never worked at 

 botany systematically, it is quite possible that the Henbane may 

 occur in many East Riding- localities where I have not seen it. 

 The nature of the spot where I saw it at Flamborough quite 

 agrees with Mr. Peacock's observations. A slip had occurred in 

 the glacial beds that overlie the chalk cliffs near Danes' Dyke, 

 and it was on the fresh soil thus exposed that a huge plant of 

 Henbane was growing. It would be interesting to learn how 

 the seed-habit of the Henbane has been acquired, and what 

 advantage the plant gains by it. — W. C. Hey, West Ayton. 



Plants in Cumberland, 1707. — The new volume of the 

 ' Transactions of the Cumb. and Westm. Antiq. and Archaeol. 

 Society,' Vol. 4, N.S., 1904, contains a few more early records 

 (ante 1901, May; 1902, June; 1903, May and July). Bishop 

 Nicolson writes in his diary, 1707 — 'July 18. Mr. B. and Cousin 

 Chambers accompanied me ... to Cardornock ; a place 

 1 had long desired to see, looking for a variety of plants. None 

 did I meet with but (what are common on all our coasts) the 

 Coronopus Plantago niaritima L.), Cariophyllus Marinus 



Armey id viaritinia Willd.), and the Behen album { = Silene 

 cucubalus Wib.).' The locality is near Bowness-on-Solway. —
