SOMERSET NOTES FOK 1917. 



By the Rev. Edward S. Marshall, M.A., F.L.S. 



Comparatively little work was done, last year, at least in the 

 southern districts, owing to other occupations and the restrictions on 

 travelling. The most energetic observer has been Dr. H. Downes, 

 F.L.S., (-0.), of Ilininster ; he noted 520 species in that neighbourhood, 

 many of which were not on record for district 4 of Murra^^'s Flora. 

 My other principal helpers have been Messrs. B. W. Tucker (T.) and 

 W. D. Millei- {M.).
