22 WOODRUFFE-PEACOCK : SEED DISPERSION IN LINCOLNSHIRE. 
Agrostis alba var. stolonifera L. The ‘Twitch’ of our carr fields, 
where both the type and variety are found only too plentifully 
after a series of wet seasons. 
Glyceria fluitans R.Br. With a number of other Gramznee too 
uncertain to name. 
This short list was only completed after half a dozen visits to the 
beck, during two months. 
My best thanks are due to Mr. Job Richardson, of Cadney, for 
calling my attention to the beck vegetation and diligently collecting 
specimens, and to the Rev. W. Fowler, of Liversedge, for naming 
a number of specimens at a time when the County Herbarium and 
Flora work were keeping me more than fully employed. 
The sand of the beck was burrowed in all directions by the 
shallow runs of the Mole (Zalfa europea \..); and the Frog 
(Rana temporaria L.) was plentiful, the Toad (Bufo vulgaris L.) 
scarce. There were very few birds, and only of the commonest 
kind. 
Since these words were penned the whole stretch of sand has 
been thrown out, and during the coming winter will be carted on to 
the fields around. Next season many plants new to the carrs will 
appear and then die out. Perhaps they are of some little value to 
the agriculturalist, for they take the place of native and more prolific 
congeners, and prevent them leaving successors. The rich soils of 
the well-farmed carrs will grow wicks of some kind. 
In May 1893 I examined two Pollard Willows in Cadney, not 
far from the village, and in their large open heads, about seven feet 
from the ground, found the following plants :— 
Rubus fruticosus L., var. uncertain. 
Galium Aparine L 
Alliaria officinalis Andrzj., many plants. 
Ribes Grossularia L., several plants. 
Rosa canina L., var. uncertain, 
Urtica dioica L. 
Crategus Oxyacantha var. monogyna Jacq. 
Fraxinus excelsior L. 
Pyrus Aucuparia L., one plant, but very common on willow trees 
about. 
Rumex conglomeratus Murray. 
Agrostis vulgaris With. 
Ribes sativa Reichb., one plant. 
On the 8th of September I visited Scotton Common to make 
notes on the sheets of water there. Ferry Flash was quite dried up,
