BOTANICAL SECTION. 19 



JUNIOR DEPARTMENT. 



The number of members this year was 45 and of these about 30 

 did some work in one or other of the Sections. In the Botanical 

 Section 25 competed and 11 shewed up over 50 specimens. H. T. 

 Butt came first with 205 specimens, R. I. Kinloch being second with 

 193. After these A. A. Roberts 172, H. de C. Falle 130, G. Perkins 

 III, P. D'A. Banks 105, S. Collett 93, H. Perkins 91, C. T. H. 

 Walker 82, G. Marsden and G. Porcher 57. 



Among records new to the Department were Helminthia Echioides, 

 Sedum Rhodiola and Album, while Lysimachia Vulgaris and Cam- 

 panula Hybrida made their appearance again after an interval of 

 some years. We are told that Parnassia Palustris has been found 

 near Puckham but it has not been presented yet at College. 



The annual expedition took place on July 17 to Whitcombe and 

 Birdlip and though late in the season nine or ten hitherto unrecorded 

 species were found. 



During a walk, on Oct. 25, to the Seven Springs 51 species were 

 found in bloom, including two records, viz. Campanula Hybrida and 

 Geranium Columbinum. The latter was flowering abundantly in the 

 large field to the north of the Seven Springs.
