Scliultz was first referred to, as far as I am aware, in Piiytol. 0. s. iv. 933 (1853)." ,, 150. Physospermum. Add " Stephens, who sent this to Buddie, died in 1679." Peucedanum palustre. For ''(1784)" read "(1794)." Senecio palustris. For " Davey " read " Darcy." Lactuca Scariola. For '' 1568 " read *' 1562." Wahlenbergia. After ''Ic. Bot. v. 47 " insert " (1827)." Centunculus. Mr. Druce informs me that the "Oha- maeUnum stellatum Park. . . . Beyond Redding" of How Phyt. (1650) was most probably this plant. ,, 17. After Verbascura virgatum insert " V. Blattaria L. Sp. PI. 178 (1753). 1629. * Blattaria vulgaris flo. luteo.'— Johns. Kent, 10." „ 151. Nepeta Glechoma. Bead " Benth. Lab. 485 (1832)." „ 244. Atriplex litt oralis. After "riguis " insert '*pratis." ,, 307. Euphorbia Peplis. For '' Intu " read *' Inter." ,, 341. Salix lapponum L. It appears from the * Essays on Natural History' of Dr. John Walker that this was first observed by him in the parish of Moffat, in July, 1762. 1895,16. Cephalanthera ensifolia. Substitute "1666. 'Helle- borine angustifol. fl. albo oblongo. In Helkwood in Yorkshire, not far from Ingleborough.' — Merrett, 61." ,, 16. Epipactis atrorubens. The date should be " 1677," and the reference " Bay Cat. ed. 2, 157, 8." „ 18. Leucojum sestivum. For "c. 1785 " read ''c. 1788." 1896, 228. Carex Boenninghausiana. For " 1643 " read "1843." ,, 275. C. ventricosa. Substitute " C. depauperata Curtis Cat. ex With. Bot. Arr. ed. 2, 1049 (1787). G. ventri- cosa Curtis, Fl. Lond. vi. 68 (c. 1790). 'Discovered by Mr. Cuit. [Curtis], Charlton-wood, Kent, Mr. Woodward.' But see Curtis, I. c. and Linn. Soc. Trans, ii. 181." ,, 472. Cynosurus cristatus. Substitute "1605. "'Pratis Londinensis agri juxta Hackneum.' — Lob. Adv. pars alt. 465." As a brief summary of some interesting facts deducible from the Hst now concluded, it appears that Turner's works (1538-1568) contain references to at least 230 species of British flowering plants. Lobel adds 67, and Gerard 181 ; thus we find that about 480 species have been known for 300 years.* In Johnson's works (1629-1641) we get first records of 160 more. Parkinson (1640) adds 27, many of them very interesting — e. g. Arbutus, the first Irish record, and the strangely late first notice of Pinus sylvestris. In How's Phytologia we get 16 new plants ; Merret adds 40 ; Plukenet 1 (Subularia) ;
 * Bauhin (1620) gives us our first Scotch plant {Trientalis).
