1190 Scirpus maritimus. Specimens were forwarded to me in 
1887 by Mr. J. Adair, which were gathered on the shore 
near Ravenglass. 
1222 Carex vulpina. Discovered last month in swampy ground 
in Flimby Wood, not far from the Robin Hood Pit. 
Only once before seen at the mouth of a stream at Saint 
Bees. 
1248 C. pendula. In July of last year I found this fine sedge 
growing luxuriantly in the Lyneside Woods, on the right 
bank of the river, under Shanks Castle. In 1824, Mr. 
N. J. Winch, an able Newcastle botanist, in ‘‘ Contribu- 
tions towards a Cumberland Flora,” speaks of this as 
common in our woods. This statement being at variance 
with my own experience, I would gladly know from those 
familiar with the Longtown district, and the Netherby 
Woods in particular, whether the Great Sedge abounds 
or not in this quarter of the county. 
GRAMINA. 
Having treated at length of the Grasses at the Workington 
Annual Meeting in 1882, I can here only briefly refer to the few 
species recently discovered, or indicate new stations for Grasses of 
comparative rarity. 
1267 Setaria viridis. Two or three examples seen on a rubbish 
heap behind the “slag” banks at the Maryport iron 
furnaces in 1887. 
1282 Alopecurus agrestis. On the Maryport ballast in 1886-87. 
Not seen this year. Its presence with us is undesirable. 
Under the name of “ Black Bent” it is a great pest to 
agriculturists in the Midland counties. 
1287 Milium effusum. In July, 1888, discovered in a gill by the 
Ive, under Highead Castle, close to ‘Carlin Pot.” 
Reported also by Mr, Friend from Orton Moss, near 
Carlisle,
