Mr. E. Davies, of Hereford, produced a specimen of Gastridium lendigerutn 

 (Nit-grass) discovered by himself at Breinton, near Hereford, with respect to 

 which the following letter was read from Mr. Purchas, of Ross : — 



" It may be as well to communicate to the Club the various additions to the 

 list of Herefordshire plants, as they are successively made ; perhaps, as I cannot 

 be present to-morrow, you wiU do me the favour to state that I have lately 

 received from Mr. E. Davies, of Hereford, specimens of the Gastridium lendigerum 

 or " Nit-grass," which he has discovered at Breinton. This is a somewhat un- 

 expected addition, because the plant usually, though by no means universally, 

 is found in the neighbourhood of the sea coast." 



The President afterwards favoured the members with an excellent paper 

 on the Old Red Sandstone, and particularly with reference to the country visited.
