On leaves from the first two stations, where the plants are 
practically equally exposed to submergence, the ratios are 
nearly the same. It might be expected that the plants in 
other stations, which grew at a higher level, and were not 
submerged so often, would show a smaller ratio of glands ; 
except in one case, however, they show a larger ratio. With 
regard to the two sets of figures from Easington (‘ G ’), these 
refer to leaves from the two patches on the same enclosure : 
there is no obvious reason why they should be so different. 
On the plant transferred to a garden at Hedon, the ratio of 
glands to stomata is actually smaller than in the case of the 
Welwick leaves, but the difference is only small. It should 
be noted that all these figures were the result of preliminary 
observations which, owing to the circumstances already 
explained, could not be subsequently checked. 
It is remarkable that Statice binervosa, which occurs to 
the south of Cleethorpes, is not found on the north bank of the 
Humber. Similarly, Statice reticulata, which is common in 
the saltmarsh at Holme, on the Norfolk side of the Wash, does 
not (if my information is correct) pass over into Lincolnshire.
