SHORT NOTES. 
So.anum Rostratum Dunal (p. 42). — This species has appeared 
as a ballast plant about Liverpool in most years between 1887 and 
1901. It has been seen by more than one observer chiefly near the 
sandhills to the north of Liverpool, and about the canal-banks at 
Aintree. This port is noted for its numerous interesting strangers, 
some of which appear rarely, and others recur in most years in the 
same places, showing that they may be becoming naturalized. In 
the forthcoming Flora of Liverpool I am including as many of these 
casuals as possible.—C. THroporE 
Augustin Ley. Among them was one bramble new to Ireland, and 
five others new to the Co. Limerick. They are as follows :— 
phyllus var. Schlechtendalti Weihe (form of). — R. Questierii Lefv. & 
Muell. — R. micans Gren. & Godr anicus 
Focke.—Eronora ARMITAGE.
