162 Kyloe, Ratcheugh, Howick, and Bambro'. In Teesdale on Falcon Clints and Force Garth scars, 500 yards.

3. R. rubella, Smith. Incognit.

All the specimens we have seen under this name belong to spinosissima except two, which are in Winch's collection in the Newcastle Museum, and are marked "Durham coast." The fruit here is bright red and drooping, in the preceding much stouter and rounder, deep purple in colour, and erect. Very likely there has been some mistake in regarding these two specimens as British, as the plant is not known elsewhere in the country.

4. R. hibernica, Smith. Native. Intermediate type. Area C, D.

In Weardale near Witton-le-Wear, and in Coquetdale in thickets near Flotterton, gathered in both stations by Professor Oliver. The Coquetdale plant (var. cordifolia, Baker,) differs from the type of the species by its setose peduncles and broader cordate leaves.

5. R. Sabini, Woods. Native. English type. Area N, D. Range 1.

Banks of the Wansbeck near Sheepwash (John Storey!). In Tynedale near Shield Hall in the hedges near where the road from Dilston to Slealey divides from that which leads to Allendale (B.). Wood between Pipewellgate and the Redheugh, near Gateshead (W. Robertson). Road-side between Hylton and Washington (Professor Oliver!). Hedge near Sedgefield (Rev. A. M. Norman!). Near Darlington at Baydales, in Birch Carr, and by the side of the Stockton and Darlington road near Middleton-one-Row (W. Backhouse. B.). Hedges between Yarm and Stockton (W. Robertson!). Var. Robertsoni, Baker, still grows in the upper part of Heaton Dene.

6. R. mollissima, Fries.! R. mollis, Smith! R. villosa, Linn. herb! Native. British type. Area C, N, D. Range 1, 2.

Common in hedges and thickets, ascending to 400 yards in
