134 REPORTS. 



(whicli is really a ]mrt of Sark) where these species were 

 specially searched for by Mr. ITurst in 1002. In my Flora it is 

 stated that the seed pods of M, dcntic.uldta were found by Mr. 

 Derrick in the wool of a dead slieep lyino- at the foot of the 

 cliff's, but Mr. Derrick is now of opinion that the carcase of 

 the sheep had been floated in from the sea, which most 

 probably was the case. 



Including the species enumerated })elow, \vhi(;h have been 

 discovered this year, the Flowering- Plants of Sark re(M)rded 

 up to the present date number 437 species.

Report of Section for Marine Zoology. 



It is with great pleasure that in this my last report on 

 Marine Zoology to this Society, I am able to note a con- 

 siderable increase in the interest taken in the work of the 

 Section. During the year we have had an able and sug- 

 gestive paper by Dr. H. Fleureon Clinging Crabs. Mr. E. D. 

 Marquand has given us a list of the Guernsey Hydroicla and 

 Polyzoa, while we are able to print an account of the 

 Crustacea of the Channel Islands from Mr. Sinel's able 

 pen, and I am myself sending some account of the Actinozoa 

 of our shores. 



The study of the habits of sea animals has been taken 

 up with considerable enthusiasm, and there are several healthy 

 marine aquaria in various parts of the Island. 



Caves may not seem to be very intimately connected with 

 the work of the Section, but the three excursions which have 

 been made by the Society to study the natural beauties of 

 our coasts at close quarters have done much to stimulate 

 interest in shore animals. I hope that this Avill be remembered 

 in planning next year's excursions. 



Several interesting and rare specimens have been noted 

 during the year, most of the records coming from Mr. F.
