leaves, fruits, and seeds, noticed by De Vries, do not seem to 
have been noticed at St. Anns, though one form has some of the 
characters of rubrinervis, and another, with sessile stigmas, © 
agrees more closely with dvevisty/is. The paper is illustrated 
by six excellent photographs, one of which (Plate XXXVI.) we

We hope that these observations will be continued, and that a 
sharp look-out will be kept for forms agreeing still more closely 
with those described by De Vries. In a second paper* Mr. 
Bailey gives an account of upwards of forty species of aliens 
occurring on the sandhills of St. Anns. Besides plates of G7o0- 
thera this is illustrated by two plates of Ambrosia artemtstfolia.
