(Salicornia herbacea) was observed everywhere ; Sea Aster 
{Aster Tripolium) very abundant both in type and var. 
discoideus grew, but always on the more frequently inundated 
and muddy parts nearer the water ; enormous beds of the 
Shrubby Sea Orache {A triplex portulacoides), with a fairly 
thick interspersal of Suaeda maritima, and, now and again, a 
few plants of Thrift {Armeria maritima) were common, chiefly, 
however, on the land side of the salt marsh. Then there were 
Buda marina, seedlings of Cochlearia anglica (Mr. Stainforth 
first recorded 1912), A triplex lacinata and very much of the 
seaside grass — Glyceria maritima. Among the above, but to 
some extent hugging the inland side of the marsh, were ob- 
served innumerable patches or /beds of Statice, which, at the 
time, owing to the smallness of the leafy rosettes, the shortness 
and the narrowness of the leaves and large character of in- 
dividual flowers, we thought might be a species different from 
S. Limonium. In camera, however, the conclusion arrived at 
was that it was only S. Limonium, but forma thereof — due 
probably to the remarkable season that had been experienced 
prior to and at our visit to Welwick. Another factor had 
also to be taken into consideration, namely, that our gathering 
was evidently of flowers of a second flowering period this 
season. 
Besides those stations mentioned in Mr. Petch’s article, 
and in the addendum by the present writer, we have obtained 
well authenticated evidence of a clump of Statice Limonium 
having been seen in a marshy spot near the South Landing at 
Flamborough, which makes another station for the East 
Riding of Yorkshire.

Hampshire. By Telford Varley. Cambridge University Press, 
212 pp., 3/6 net. Judging from the length of the row of these ‘ Cambridge 
County Geographies ' on our shelves, the series must be about complete ; 
certainly the books contain a mine of valuable information relating to 
the various and numerous subjects which in these days come under the 
head of ‘ geography.’ The present volume is by the headmaster of Peter 
Symonds’ School, Winchester, who is naturally qualified to prepare a 
book likely to interest the readers for which it is prepared . The 
colouring on the geological map at the end is hardly sufficiently pro- 
nounced. 
Peoples of All Nations, edited by J. A. Hammerton, No. 1 (112 
pages, 1/3 net. London : Amalgamated Press, Ltd.) If the remainder 
‘of this publication, which is to appear in. about 48 fortnightly parts, is 
anything like the specimen before us, it will indeed be a work of per- 
manent value to scientist, artist and hntiquary alike. The first section 
deals with Abyssinia-Algeria, and contains an enormous number of 
photographs of native ‘ beauties,’ and otherwise, in their natural sur- 
roundings. These occur either in the text or on plates, some being 
gorgeously coloured. The first chapter on ‘ The Dawn of National 
Life : An Outline of Racial Origins ’ is written by Sir Arthur Keith.
