1 The first four of these Chenopodia are introduced with 

 chicken corn and in ballast ; they arc all likely to spread, but 

 have little claim to a place in the British Flora. They are to 

 be found more or less plentifully on rail and river banks, and 

 waste places at all the great seaports, and inland in similar 

 places by malt kilns and flower mills, along with a host 

 of other aliens, and occasionally turn up in the neighbourhood of 

 pheasant and poultry runs, the seeds of many species which are 

 separated from foreign barley by the Boby machine along with 

 the fruit of Polygonum Fagopyrum (F. esculentum) being much 

 used as pheasant food. A flora of aliens found in Britain, with 

 the date of the first appearance or record of each plant, will 

 require an annual supplement, but it will be useful to future 

 botanists. The aliens found in Lancashire will fill many pages 

 of such a flora, hence these remarks. A vast number of these 



best summers, a considerable number arc hardy annuals, and a 

 few are biennial and perennial. Besides these aliens, plants 

 occasionally spring up (often in profusion) of species which have 

 been considered for a century, more or less, as true natives of a 

 district, in company with obvious introductions ; these are usually 

 on dredging or newly made ground. These are especially inter- 

 esting problems for the botanist. Our oldest records do not 

 give us the approximate year of the introduction of such plants 

 as Veronica Tournefortis; if they did we should have to treat 

 a great many of our cornfield weeds as ' foreigners ' ; abundant as 

 they now are thev would have to take their places in the alien
