Senecio saracenicus in Littondale, Mid-West Yorkshire. — Last year 

 I was able to report a station for the Senecio saracenicus between Hawkswick 

 and Arncliffe. It was the first notice of this plant in Littondale. Since that time 

 I have found another station at Halton Gill, 1,000 ft. above the sea-level, and 

 also a third station, and this time in an old garden half-mile above Halton Gill. 

 This latter may be the source of the two lower stations, to which seeds may have 

 been carried down by the wind or stream. — W. A. Shuffrey, Arncliffe, Skipton,

Polypogon monspeliensis near Horbury, South-West Yorkshire. — 



A few days ago, whilst botanising on the Uirtcar side of that portion of the river 

 Calder designated ' Lupset Pond, ' between Horbury and Thornes, my attention 

 was attracted by the luxuriance of the vegetation growing on some sunken boats, 

 placed to preserve the river-banks. On examining one of these I was fortunate 

 enough to find a fine tuft of that beautiful and rare grass Polypogon mons- 

 peliensis Desf., a specimen of which I enclose. — Wm. R.USHFORTH, Hon. Sec. 

 Wakefield Naturalists' Society, Horbury, 15th August, 1889. 



[This Casual, although not new to ' Calder with Colne' area, having turned up 

 at various times and places near Huddersfield, is yet, we believe, new to this 

 portion of the area. The species has long been known in Britain, being recorded 

 as Alopecurus maxima anglica in Ray's ' Synopsis,' 396, and in Hudson's 

 ' Fl. Anglica,' 1762, p. 48, as Cynosurus pauiceus, as occurring at Drayton and 

 Portsmouth in ' Comitatus Southamptonire,' and at Purfleet in Essex. It is also 

 recorded from Kent, Norfolk, Gloucester, Durham, Fife, and Guernsey, and has 

 been introduced into the littoral region of United States of America from Europe.
