Carex ampullacea (rostrata Stokes). N.C.R. A small form of 
this, not—me judice—the elatior Blytt, but too advanced in 
its shedden catkins to be sure it is zrvoluta, though its wiry 
leaves were rolled and narrow, grew in tufts by a ditch 
bordering the reed-bed mentioned above in connection with 
Juncus obtusiflorus. The type was seen on Torrisholme 
moss. ce make an end to these excursive remarks the only 
Gra of any note seen besides Arundo was 
Triticum Htbtate Reichb. N.C.R. The squary glaucus-eared 
grass formerly regarded asa variety of 7. repens, but now 
allocated to 7. pungens. 1 am not sure (with Watson, 
Top. Bot.,; p. 503), however, that there is not a bloomy- 
blue glumed state of both ‘species,’ since the pungens of 
the southern and eastern coasts is a plant of sandhills, and 
this grew on a steep hedge-bank facing the bay above 
Scalestones Point; and the ‘sea change’ facies of plants at 
the sheltered head of Morecambe Bay is much less marked 
than even on Walney, not to say the Cumberland seaboard.
