REPORTS. 119 



visit to St. Peter's, I found several plants in the meadow next 

 the Rectory. 



J uncus bufonius, L., var. fas ciculatus, Bert. This variety 

 was found by Mr. Cecil Hurst, growing on L'Ancresse 

 Common near Fort Doyle. 



Sclerochloa procumbens, Beau. Procumbent Meadow- 

 grass. Professor Babington recorded it as occurring in a 

 marsh at the Bouet, near St. Peter-Port, in 1838 ; it had not 

 since been noticed till 1902, when Mr. Cecil Hurst found it 

 growing sparingly near the rails close to the tramway station 

 at the south end of the Yale Road. 



In Herm, during a visit on September 27th, Euphorbia 

 pep lis was found growing plentifully enough both on the west 

 sand beach and on the long shell beach on the east side of the 

 island, but the plants were not very large. 



Two new plants were observed : Spiranthes autumnalis, 

 Ladies' Tresses, was growing on the south edge of the common, 

 and 



Lagurus ovatus, Hare's-tail Grass, also on the common, a 

 little further to the north than Spiranthes. There was a nice 

 little patch of this grass, which has hitherto been known in 

 Guernsey only. 



SARK. 



Most valuable additions have been made to the Flora of 

 Sark as a result of the researches of Mr. Cecil Hurst, a well- 

 known botanist, who has for some months been staying at 

 Dixcart Hotel. Mr. Hurst intimated to Mr. E. D. Marquand 

 that he would be pleased to point out the new plants he had 

 discovered to the members of this Society. The annual 

 excursion to Sark took place on August 30th, the Entomologi- 

 cal and Botanical sections being the only ones represented. 

 Proceeding from Les Laches towards La Forge, I found 

 Malva moschata, L., Musk-mallow, which is now therefore 

 placed on our Sark list. Professor Babington marked this 

 plant as common in Sark in 1838. Arrived at Dixcart, Mr. 

 Hurst kindly made a tour of the island with me, and showed 

 me the following new plants : — 



Gnaphalium undulatum. 



Silene dichotoma. 



Arthrolobium ebracteatum, D.C., Sand Joint-vetch. 



Mentha pulegium, L., Penny Royal. 



Rubia perec/rina, L., Wild Madder. 



Filago gallica, L., Narrow-leaved Filago. 



Inula crithmoides, L., Golden Samphire.
