PoLYPOQON LiTTORAUs. Sm. (Perennial Beard grass,) 



is stated by Mr. Glazebrook, in the " Guide to Southport," 



and by Mr. H. Aughton, in Robinson's " History of Soutli- 



port," to grow in that neighbourhood ; but doubtless there 



is some mistake, as it has never, that I am aware of, been 



found by any one else on the north-western coast of 



England.

found on the grasses:— "If tpparcftta Mgeria (the Speckled Wood B.) ou Triticum 



rppens ; //. Oalathea (the Marbletl White B.) on Phleiim pratense ; H. Tithonut (the 



Largo Heath B.) larva on Poa annua ; H. Janira (the Meadow Brown B.) on Poa 



pratensis ; H. Hyperanthus (the Ringlet B.) on Milium etfusum ; H. Pamphillu* 



(Small Heath B.) on Cynosurus cristatus ; Lycoma ditpar (the Large Copper B.)
