Of these those that were new to the county run as
follows :—
p. "I. Alga exigua dichotomos, arenacei coloris . . . Circa Hollandiam
pagum non longe ab Harvico in littus maris rejectum invenimus.
On reference to specimens in Buddie's and other Sloanean
collections this proves to be Ahnfeltia plicata J. Ag.
p. 73. Fucus angustifolius vesiculis longis siliquarum aemulis. Quem in
littus ejectum invenimus circa Hollandiam vicum non procul ab Harvico portu, 5
trans S. Osithae oppidulum miliaribus in Essexia."
This appears from specimens in the same collections to be
Halidrys siliquosa Lyngbye.
p. 126. Lichen sive Hepatica lunulata epijnllokaepog . . . in umbrosis
uliginosis. . . . D. Dale pharmacopaeus & medicus Brantriae, vicinus
noster, Botanicus Studiosus primus detexit nobisque ostendit non longe a
domicilio nostro. [Lunularia vulgaris Michel.]
p. 190, following the description of Potamogeton interruptus var. scoparius,
'Potamogeton maritimum pusillum alterum. . . ." "In fossis palustribus via a
'Camaloduno ad Goldhanger."
This, as represented in the Sloane Herbarium, is Ruppia
rostellata Koch, as also is Plukenet's specimen (Herb. Sloane
97, 121), figured by him (under this name of Ray's) Tab.
ccxlviii., Fig. 4. In Gibson's Flora, Mr. Newbould suggests
that the specimens used by Sowerby for English Botany, Tab. 136,
as R. maritima are this species. "They were," he says, "from
a plant gathered by E. Forster in Ray's station." Sowerby's
drawing is, however, endorsed "E. F., junr. The habitat
mislaid," while the specimens themselves are fragmentary and
inconclusive. Edward Forster's own specimens in the British
Museum Herbarium, both from Goldhanger, July 21st, 1793,
