104 THE FLORA OF SARK. 



In the corn-fields on the table-land Scleranthns annum 

 (Annual Knawel) occurs as a common weed. The name 

 is in the lists in Babington and Professor Ansted's books as 

 found in all the Channel Islands, but it is not included in our 

 own flora, and so either does not now occur or must be rare in 

 Guernsey to have escaped for these years the search of our 

 indefatigable ex-president and his colleagues. 



It will be seen then that though we have made a good 

 commencement, there is yet much to be done before we have 

 brought our researches in Sark to completion. Babington 

 gives 247 species, we have added 67, but have only identified 

 240, so that we have 74 still to collect to produce what may 

 be looked upon as a fairly perfect catalogue. 



We hope that in any future visits, members will secure 

 any of the desiderata they may notice, and so assist in the 

 completion of the work.
