star-thistle) has been obtained from near the Vale Castle and 

 the Lower Rohais ; Mr. Le Lacheur has thus established a 

 new station for each of these plants, and we are led to the 

 conclusion that both of them may occasionally occur in any 

 district. 



In connection with the Flora of Sark, I have to acknow- 

 ledge an error in the original list (1896). Feeling doubtful 

 about the plant of Senebicra still nourishing near the Creux 

 tunnel, I submitted specimens of it to Mr. Koyle, who finds it 

 to be S. coronopus, which must therefore replace S. didymus 

 in the list. It is curious that S. didymus, which is one of the 

 commonest weeds in Guernsey, has not yet been observed in 

 Sark. 



The additions to the Sark list this year are : — 



Cardamine flexuosa, With. Wavy-stemmed bitter-cress. 

 Cuseuta epithymum, Murr. Lesser dodder. 

 Thlaspi arvense, L. Penny cress. 

 Anagallis COerulea, Schreb. Blue pimpernel. 



Cardamine flexuosa, occurs by the stream side at La 

 Moinerie, and in other places. 



Cuseuta, was reported last year, but no specimen shown. 

 In September, Mr. Jackson, a gentleman who has resided 

 some years in Sark, reported it in a field near Clos Buret, 

 where I found it growing on young plants of furze ; the old 

 weather-beaten bushes close by were quite free from it. 



In June I found a specimen of Thlaspi arvense growing 

 in a cultivated field in Little Sark. This plant is not included 

 in Babington from Sark or Guernsey. I found it in two 

 stations near Mount Row in 1893, and it has since then 

 occurred in nearly every part of Guernsey, so that it may be 

 considered well-established there, and has probably spread 

 from it into the smaller island. 



Anagallis cerulea is occasionally seen in Guernsey, was 

 fairly abundant in Jethou, and in September Mr. Jackson 

 sent me a plant of it from near Dixcart Hotel, Sark. 



The only important work carried out this year in 

 connection with this section is the gratifying result of the 

 indefatigable exertions of our worthy ex-Fresident, Mr. E. 

 Marquand, who having taken up his residence in Alderney, 

 has shown that that island contains a flora more extensive 

 and varied in projjortion to its size than any other of the 

 Channel Islands. He has most kindly placed the results of 

 his researches at the disposal of the Society.
