Potato Pierced BY Grass. — Mr. A. C. Brigham, of Trumbull, Ohio, sends nie a 

 freshly dug potato which has been piei'ced completely through by a growing stem of 

 grass; pvohiMy Poa j^ratensis. The potato is three inches long and two inches thick, 

 of regular shape, and with a smooth, uninjured skin. The grass entered from the side, 

 near the " stem " end of the potato, and issued at the " eye" end, its course being some- 

 what curved. If it entered vertically, as is probable, it emerged horizontally, being 

 carried forward, perhaps, by the contemporaneous growth of the potato. The original 

 root of the grass was not seen, that part being broken awaj' an eighth of an inch out- 

 side of the point of entrance. Dissection reveals the perfect stem of tlie grass im- 

 bedded in the center of the potato. After emergence the grass struck upward in a 

 vigorous shoot five inches beyond the potato, appearing above the ground in half a 

 dozen green leaves. Many long, tender roots extend out from the stem above its point 

 of liberation. The potato suffered no discernible irritation at being thus pierced, and 

 the grass, also, was in no way exhausted b}^ its exploit. — Albert A. Wright, Oberlin.

Nelumbium luteum. — I just saw specimens of Nelumbium Iwteum from Grass 

 Lake, Lake Co., Illinois. It is a new locality for the plant, which is by no means com- 

 mon here. — M. Harrington, Sycamore, III.
