genous to Switzerland, but were probably imported with the 
seed corn, the Cretan catchfly {Silene Cretica), and the corn 
blue-bottle {Centaurea cyanus)', the former is spread over all the 
countries of the Mediterranean, and is found in the flax-fields of 
Greece, Italy, the South of France, and the Pyrenees ; the 
original home of the corn blue-bottle is Sicily. The presence of 
these weeds indicates the way by which corn had come into 
the hands of the Swiss lake-dwellers. 
Upon Plate Ixxxvii., Case K 4, will be found representations 
of the weeds of the cornfield, obtained from the lake-dwellings.
