rubrum v. pseudo-botryoides has no doubt been brought there 

 by wild fowl. Fit ago minima, Galium palustre vai. Witheringit 

 and G. nliginosum were in Jurrus conglomeratus l3ds. Gnap- 

 halium uliginosum, Hottonia was curiously xdLrt;\ Hypericum, 

 elodes still in quantities. H. tctrapteriim (Fr.) Myrica, Poly- 

 gonum hydropiper, Potentilla palustris, but I saw no old plants- 

 Rumex maritimus is still left, buti, the plants were very smalL 

 Scutellaria minor, Solanum dulcamara [flore alho), Utricidaria 

 vulgaris in flower, and rare. Viola palustris in leaf only. 



The ditch flora was nothing particular. Potamogeton 

 polygonifoliiis seems now to be rare. Samolus which is rare in 

 N.-W. Lindsey, was there too. 



The cultivated moorland here is a new thing since my last 

 visit. Lycopsis, Scleranthus annuus and Urtica iirens were well 

 established, but there were no new interesting associations one 

 had not studied before. 



Many insect visitors were noted, but the day was not a good 

 one for the purpose. Thrips, which was in everj' fldwer, 

 examined the day before, was only once seen. 



Compared with the glory of this ground even thirty years 

 ago, but few good things are left, and those, we fear, are doomed. 

 The common on the weSt of Scunthorpe is freer from distur- 

 bance, and still supplies Epipactis palustris, Rumex maritimus ,. 

 Gentiana Pneumonanthe, Narthecium and Pinguicula.
