arable field upon the sand adjoining, Veronica Buxbaumii plenti- 
fully. Prior's wood will afford many an interesting plant, amongst 
which may be noticed Aquilegia vulgaris (sometimes with white 
flowers), Orobus tuberosus and Serratula tinctoria. 
The chalk-quarries round Guildford will amply repay investi- 
gation, and are rich in calcareous plants : in addition to those of 
the Compton and Wanborough stations will be found Cichorium 
Intybus, growing in the greatest profusion near St. Catherine's 
Hill ; Allium vineale is located in one spot on the Stoke road ; 
Chenopodium olidum will be found at the foot of an old wall in 
Quarry-street. Isatis tinctoria grows in the greatest profusion, 
principally fi*om the fissures on the perpendicular face of the 
chalk in the Shalford quarry ; here also will be found Reseda 
Luteola ; and towards St. Martha's Chapel Brachypodium pin- 
natum occurs in a disused chalk -pit. 
In this neighbourhood Mr. Mill has recorded Fumaria parvi- 
flora and Bupleurum rotundifolium (Phytol. i. 40). 
The central or great division is that which is occupied by the 
cultivated portions of the Shanklin sand, in which will be found 
the following rare or local plants. Smyrnium Olusatrum, by the 
side of the Shalford road, opposite the park-paling. Dianthus 
plumarius, in the greatest profusion on an old wall in Shalford- 
street, and on the wall of Westbrook Park. Saponaria ofiicinalis 
in a hedge-bank near St. Martha's Chapel. Corydalis claviculata, 
sparingly on St. Martha's Hill, amongst the trees. This delicate 
plant is abundant in a withy-bed below Perry dean field (Thorn- 
combe-street), also in a wet coppice at Hambledon Heath. Mr. 
Mill (Phytol. i. 41) records Listera Nidus-avis as growing "in a 
heathy wood between Guildford and St. Martha's Chapel." Hyos- 
cyamus niger, by the road-side against Stone -bridge wharf, by no 
means a common plant. Cyperus fuscus, on the margins of 
Peat pond, on Shalford Common.* Impatiens fulva; by the 
sides of the Tillingbourne at Chilworth this beautiful exotic is 
naturalized, growing in the greatest profusion, and is equally 
abundant by the sides of the Wey to its junction with the
