We have, with deep regret, to record the death of our ex-chair- 

 man, Mr. J. T. Harris, which, ardent botanist and indefatigable 

 collector as he was, is a severe blow to the Section. As an authority 

 on the local flora he was almost without equal, and his loss will 

 be keenly felt in our work on the Flora of the District, which 

 had been in abeyance for some time in the hope of his recovery. It 

 is a matter of some congratulation though that his valuable local 

 collection is to remain in the town, and will, by the kindness of its 

 present owner, be available for reference during the compilation of 

 the list, upon which work has now been resumed. 



The Phenological Observations for 1891 accompany this Report. 



The only finds we have to place on record for the past Session are 

 the following Charas by Mr. J. E. Nowers. 



Chaya frag! lis, Desv., Outwood Hills. 



Chara hispida, Linn., Outwood Hills and Bretby. 



Chara vulgaris, Linn. 



var. b. longihracteata , Kuetz., Outwood Hills. 



c. papillata, Wallr., Outwood Hills and Sinai Park.
