Notice of Occurrence of Ephnedium alpimim, many years ago, in 

 Leigh Woods, near Bristol. By Henry Oxley Stephens, 

 Esq. 



I WISH to put on record as a hint to other botanists, that 

 many years ago I gathered Epimedium alpinum in Leigh Woods. 

 Soon after this I left Bristol, in order to complete my medical educa- 

 tion, and my botanical researches being interrupted for a considerable 

 period of time, the exact spot on which I gathered this interesting 

 plant has totally passed from my memory. It was in Mr. Miles's 

 portion of the Wood, but I have searched in vain for it since. A 

 specimen gathered by myself, and marked at the time, is still extant 

 in the herbarium of Dr. Rogers, of this city.

 the report of the proceedings of the Council and of the progress the 

 Society had made since its formation. The report was unanimously

 Medlock, for their attention to the interest of the Society. From the 

 Treasurer's report it appeared that there are 105 members, and the 

 Society is in a flourishing state. The various officers having been 

 re-elected, and the name of Henry Lawes Long, Esq., of Hampton 

 Lodge, added to the list of Vice Presidents ; the Chairman delivered
