(Pxares 263 & 264). 
Tue past season, as regards the number of new county records, 
shows, as might be expected, a considerable falling-off when com- 
pared with previous years, but two species have been added to the 
certainly British Characea, viz., Nitella capitata and Chara inter- 
media. The discovery of a Tolypella in Caithness and Lychnothamnus 
stelliger in Surrey are the most important additional county records. 
It is nope) to be able to add several notes for the Irish 
counties
