FLOWERING PLANTS. _ 449 
zoology of Herm, and during a few hours’ ramble across the island 
I noted 181 flowering plants, 6 ferns, and, what was far more unex- 
pected, a fine form of Chara vulgaris. Besides these, four species 
were brought to me, which were not among my own gatherings. A 
complete list of the plants detected on this occasion, of which 57 
were unrecorded in the Alora Sarnica, was afterwards printed in the 
Transactions of the Guernsey Society of Natural Science for 1889. 
Further additions to the list were made during subsequent visits by 
Mr. Derrick and myself in 1893, and by Mr. C. Andrews in 1898 
and 1899. 
I much regret that it did not occur to me at the time to note the 
comparative frequency of the various species that came under my 
notice : an easy matter to an observer on the spot, who can mark on 
his list as he goes along whether a plant is scarce, common, or local, 
and notes of this kind are sure to be useful afterwards. Of course, 
taking the Channel Islands as a group, this omission is of slight 
importance ; but it is a serious drawback when comparing closely 
the vegetation of one island with that of another Such notes on 
distribution as have been supplied are now given, but in most cases 
only the name of the observer can be recorded. ‘The list of lichens 
is compiled from the works which were enumerated in treating 
of the lichens of Sark. 
There are four Herm plants, two phanerogams and two lichens, 
which have not as yet been discovered in Guernsey, viz., Sz/ene 
nutans, Picrts hieracioides, Lecidea squamulosa, and Lecidea bactllt- 
Sera. 
The flora of Herm as recorded in these pages, consists of 248 
Flowering Plants, 6 Ferns, 1 Equisetum, 1 Chara, and 43 Lichens.
