Cornwall. — In this county the Sea Spleenwort is abundant 
and luxuriant. Miss Warren informs me that it grows both on 
the northern and southern coasts: and that it is particularly fine 
near St. Ives. Mr. Ralfs says it is fine and abundant at Mouse- 
hole. Messrs Watson, Greenwood, Peirson, H. Christy, &c., 
have given me numerous other localities, almost comprising the 
entire coast. The form of the frond in Cornish specimens is 
more elongate than in those from Liverpool, and the habit alto- 
gether different. 
Cumberland. — Mr. Heysham informs me he has found it 
near Whitehaven ; and Mr. Pinder has supplied me most abun- 
dantly wdth beautiful specimens, both from this place and St. 
Bees’ head. 
Devonshire. — Miss Griffiths gives me Dawlish and Ilfra- 
combe as localities. The Rev. W. S. Hore informs me it is 
common in sea-caves ; Mr. Ralfs has found it at Torquay and 
Salcombe. Mr. Beynon informs me that it grows in cavernous 
fissures of the rocbs in many parts of the coast near Torquay, — 
for instance. Liver-mead, Daddy-hole, Mead-foot, and Hope’s- 
nose. Mr. Sparkes observed it in a sea-cave at Babbicombe ; 
and Mr. Jordan between Dawlish and Teignmouth.
