Qth October, 1874.— Dr. Bossey brought for exhibition some rare 

 or doubtfully native plants : among them were — PotentiUa supina, 

 found in Woolwich Dockyard (probably introduced among timber) ; 

 Triticum cristatum, a native of Asia and the East of Europe: 

 Camelina sativa and Alyssmn calycinum, introduced plants, now 

 becoming common ; Polypogon littoralis, very rare ; and P. mon- 

 speliensis, rare, found at Plumstead — the former appears to be dying 

 out ; and Salvia pratensis, from Gatton, new to our district Flora. 



Annual Genebal Meeting, IQth October, 1874. — The Report, 

 after stating that " Numerous additions, by donation and purchase, 

 had been made to the Club collections, consisting of eggs of British 

 birds, fossils of the Red and Coralline crags, and Lepidopterous 

 insects — among the latter several species new to the district Fauna " 

 — shortly enumerated the lectures and papers read before the 

 Society, and stated that "prizes had been offered for the best 

 collections in Botany, Geology and Entomology," closed with " an 

 expression of regret at the withdrawal from the neighbourhood of 

 their President (Mr. W. Wilson Saunders), to whom the Club is under 

 such deep obligation for his zealous and valuable services, from its 

 foundation to the present time."
