responsible for the disappearance of many rare and interesting 
Species from their localities in Leicestershire. This remark applies 
especially to the bog plants, very few of which are now to be me 
with in Charnwood Forest and other stations noted by the older 
botanists. The shores of as Leicester Corporation reservoirs at 
Cropston, Thornton, and Swithland yield a characteristic flora, 
especially when the water is at a low 1 a. This was notably the 
case at Uroat during the dry summer of 1893, when Inula 
britannica, a continental plant allied to J. salicina, was first noticed. 
and a small plot of waste ground near Blaby Mill have also yielded 
numerous alien species. At Blaby their introduction appears to be 
accounted for by Turkish barley siftings which have been used to 
feed fowls kept near this a about 100 different species appeared 
here during the years 1902-
