In previous communications to the Society* I have 

 reported the appearance of a considerable number of alien 

 plants which have occurred upon the sandhills of the 

 Lancashire coast at St. Anne's-on-the-Sea. Almost the 

 whole of these plants originate with poultry runs, which 

 are temporarily accommodated on the sandhills, until 

 such times as advancing building operations drive the 

 poultry further afield. Their removal from the released 

 land permits the growth of much of the foreign seed 

 upon which they are fed, and in the next following seasons 

 a curious admixture of native and alien vegetation 

 presents itself, when the hens are no longer on the ground 

 to consume it almost as soon as it germinates. 



The area now to be reported upon was carefully ex- 

 amined some two or three seasons ago, and the additions 

 now recorded more than double the numbers in the pre- 

 vious lists, and bring up the total to more than a hundred 

 species. The majority of the plants included in the 

 present list were found in the area bounded by Beach 

 Road, St. Andrew's Road North, St. Leonard's Road, 

 and the North Drive, and this area is to be understood
