2 26 MOSLEY : OBSERVATIONS AT ANSTON STONES. 



Otiorhynchus ovatus and O. sulcatus we obtained one each. 

 Pyrochroa serraticornis I have taken on a former occasion. 

 Chrysomela polita. A few by sweeping. 



PLANTS. 



Ranunculus auricomus. It is usually difficult to get this plant 

 with perfect flowers, but in the wood were many fine plants with 

 the full number of petals. 



Viola odorata. Abundant on the road-sides from Anston to 

 Dinnington. 



Saxifraga granulata. Fairly common in the meadows above the 



Vicarage between the footpath and the stream. 

 Saxifraga tridactylites. Common on the rough limestone 



blocks and on the wood wall. 

 Myosotis sylvatica. Very abundant by the stream-side in the 



wood. 

 PlantagO media. One of the commonest meadow plants. 

 Primula veris. Common and very fine plants. 

 Paris quadrifolia. Common in the wood. Seemed fond of 



growing in clusters under the shade of a young tree. We found 



several of the variety with five leaves. 

 Scolopendrium vulgare. Common on the rough limestone 



blocks, but the plants only small. 

 Asplenium trichomanes. Common on the rocks, but very small 



plants ; and one or two small 

 Asplenium ruta-muraria were also seen. 

 Melica nutans. This grass is not uncommon in the wood. This 



is interesting, as Hooker gives W. England only as the habitat. 



FUNGI. 

 ^Ecidium ranunculacearum. On Lesser Celandine. 

 iEcidium dracontii. On Arum maculatum. 

 ^Ecidium allii. On Allium ursinum. 

 ^Ecidium violas. On Viola odorata. 

 Polycystis violae. On Viola canina. 



We also found an orange rust, which we have not been able to 

 determine, on Myrrhis odorata, and another on Spircea ulmaria. We 

 brought away a supply of several of these, and shall be glad to send 

 specimens to collectors. At the same time we shall be glad of other 

 species, especially such as attack cultivated crops.
