7 to Dubmill, during the summer months of 1885-6-7._ These were 
Carex pulicaris, C. disticha, sive intermedia; this latter species 
grows in a field on St. Helen’s farm, Workington, and on the left 
of the footpath ‘leading from Maryport to Bank End, near the 
Rifle-Butts. C. avenaria, everywhere rooting in the sandhills on 
_ the coast, its long creeping roots, with those of Psamma arenaria, 
_ Elymus, and Triticum junceum being very serviceable in preventing 
the sand from being blown about by the wind. C. wu/pina, where 
a brook enters the sea near the extreme south of the cliffs at 
‘St. Bees, scarce. C. stellulata, C. remota, C. ovalis, C. vulgaris, 
mc: glauca, “Pry,” C. panicea, C. binervis, C. fulva, C. Hava, C. hirta 
| (Flimby Railway Station), C. paludosa (mouth of the Ellen), 
BC. ampullacea. Where not otherwise specified, all the above 
forms may be found on Salta Moss.

_ Having already treated at some length of the Grasses of Mid- 
Cumberland in a paper read at the Annual Meeting at Workington 
n 1882, which appeared in Vol. VI. of Zransactions, pp. 31—46, 
I propose but briefly to notice some types or species not included 
in that list. The first of these is Sefavia viridis, which I found 
last summer, growing upon the ballast heaps south of Maryport 
Docks. Phalaris canariensis, growin g plentifully among household 
tubbish deposited at the same station, and apparently owing its 
introduction to bird-cage sweepings. A/opecurus agrestis, a worth- 
less alien, the ‘Black Bent” of agriculturists in the midland 
counties ; I have observed this grass on several occasions at Rise- 
ho w, Maryport, and Silloth ; its permanent establishment here is 
hardly probable, and certainly not desirable. Agrostis spica-venti, 
a very elegant species, though possessing slight claims to utility, 
as been gathered on the ballast about Maryport and Silloth 
Docks. Avena fatua, found on the North Shore at Workington ; 
is also reported from Sellafield and stations further south. Ca/a- 
rosa aquatica, in a boggy ditch near Dubmill. Bromus secalinus, 
jallast hills, Maryport. Zviticum acutum, on the sandy beach 
from Siddick to Risechow; common, and apparently quite indi-
