Abstract
MR. FORDHAM (NATURE, vol. xii. p. 87) is quite right in conjecturing that it may be without foundation he has thought that primroses are not found in districts in which cowslips are common, and vice versâ. In the north-east of Staffordshire, for miles round Denstone College, early in the spring, nearly all the hedges and many of the fields are covered with primroses. Later on cowslips abound; I might add that oxlips are also far from being rare.
