Good Easter, Shellow Bowells, Stondon Massey, Navestock,
South Weald, Brentwood, and Thorndon Hall; and from 3,
by this line continued to Langdon Hills, Vange, and along
the high road to the river at Southend, including Canvey
Island.
Sub-province 3—Crouch. From 4, by a line from Heron-

house, Woodham Ferrers, Norton Cold, and along 'the high

Sub-province 6—Stour, and Sub-province 7—Brook, are thus

As compared with Mr. Gibson's divisions, my sub-province
1 comes in his 1, 3, and 4; my 2 in his 1 (very little), 3, 4,
and 5; my 3 in his 5 and 6 ; my 4 in his 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7;
my 5 in his 1 (very little), 2, 7, and 8; my 6 in his 1, 2,
and 8; and my 7 entirely in his 1.
Thus, making another much urged alteration, viz., substi-
tuting abbreviated names for initials, Mr. Gibson's localities
for Clematis Vitalba will run, when re-arranged, as follows:—
1 ?—2. Little Warley, Hind. Tilbury, Newb. Southend,
Ibbot. Romford, Ibbot.—3. Rochford, Ibbot.—4. Chelmsford,
Broomfield, Boreham, Pigg. Kelvedon, Rivenhall, Varen.
Maldon, Ibbot.—5. Halstead, Bent. Copford, Bab. Col-
chester, Gant.—6 ?—7. Common in the Walden district,
Gibs.
To recast the whole of this valuable work in the manner
thus proposed would be a labour of considerable difficulty.
