Scirpus fluitans L. Ditch near Bare Railway-station, Wi. The 

 second locality only in the vice-county for this. — *5. maritimus L. 

 var. compactus Koch {conglobatus S. Gray). Near the Wyre mouth, 

 Wh. Ovangle, on the Lune estuary, Wi. 



Rhyncospora alba Vahl. Tarnbrook Fell, Wyresdale, amongst 

 Vaccinium Oxycoccos and Sphagnum, medium. These three are also 

 closely associated on Cockerham Moss. This latter locality is being 

 so altered by drainage that the Rhyncospora is in danger of being 

 lost ; therefore this additional station is a welcome discovery. 



^Carex vulpina L. var. nemorosa Kit. Near Little Bispham, and 

 by the canal between Galgate and Glasson, Wh. Here the plant 

 generally grows by open ditches and canal-sides, and we have it 

 verified by Mr. Bennett from similar situations in Yorkshire. It 

 cannot therefore be considered to be a mere shade form. 

 Y^^Phalaris minor Retz. On ballast near Preston Docks, Wh. 

 . Y^' Anthoxanthum Puellii Lee. & Lam. Between the rails on the 

 railway through Preston Docks, Wh. 



Y^'Apera Spica-venti Beauv. A few plants with the last two in 

 Preston Docks, Wh. 



*Agrostis palmtris Huds. var. coarctata (Hoffm.). Very fine on 

 waste ground near the Wyre embankment, south-east of Fleetwood, 

 Aug. 1900, Wh. 



"^'Aira caryophyilea L. Embankments on both sides of the Wyre 

 near Preesall and Fleetwood, July, 1900. Wh. Overton, in the 

 Heysham peninsula, Wi. 



Poa nemoralis L. Near Cautsfield and Melling, Wi. Wood by 

 the Lune near Catou, Wh. — P. compressa L. Plentiful near 

 Glasson, at the edges of the footpath near the railway-station, 

 growing with Festuca rigida, Sept. 1900, Wh. In the only pre- 

 viously known locality it was in small quantity, and is perhaps lost. 



'■'''Qlyceria plica ta Fr. Between Grimsargh and Alston, Wh. 

 Y^Loliiim italicum Braun. Fleetwood Docks, Wh. Weed in fields 

 near Winmarleigh. 



Hordeum mariniitn L. Near the Ferry, Fleetwood, Wh. A 

 singularly rare grass in West and many parts of South Lancashire. 

 Cryptogramme crispa R. Br. Some fine plants among millstone 

 grit rocks on white side of Tarnbrook Fell, Wyresdale, Wi. 



*Chara vulgaris L. Stonyhurst and Crowshaw Reservoir. 

 Quarry near Leagram Mill, Flora of Sto7iyhurst. Pools in Thorn- 

 ley Quarry, Wi. — "^'C. vulgaris var. longibracteata Kuetz. Pond 

 near Middle Lane, between Blackpool and St. Annes, Oct. 1900, 

 Wh. — ^^C.fragilis Desv. Below Cowan Bridge, Leek, Mr. L. Petty. 

 Near Leighton Beck, Silverdale, Wi. 



'^'Sitella. A handsome form, abundant in Grizedale Reservoir, 

 which Messrs. Groves think may be either .V. jiexdis or N. opaca, 

 has unfortunately not yet been found in fruit.
