 FLOWERING PLANTS. 



Water = Carried Species. — I find I have the following 

 notes of Arcuaria vcnia Linn, as a water-borne species. There 

 can be little doubt they were carried by the river Ouse from 

 West Yorkshire : — Riverside, Barton, 1847, ^i"- Grantham. 

 The same, 1892, Miss Firbank. These specimens are in the 

 County Herbarium, Lincoln. Riverbank, near Hull, 1892, 

 Miss Firbank. This specimen was sent to Mr. F. A. Lees in 

 1892 or 1893. It is no doubt in his herbarium. — E. Adrian 

 Woodruffe-Peacock, Cadney, Brigg, 23rd May, 1908. 



Bearberry in Yorkshire and Derbyshire, — i\s the 

 Bearberry (Arctostaphylos Uva-ursi Spreng.) is a rare plant 

 on the southern Pennines, it is perhaps worth while to state that, 

 in the company of ]\Ir. F. T. Brooks, I found this species in 

 abundance in two S. Pennine localities last Easter. One of 

 these is in S.W. Yorkshire, and the other in N. Derbyshire, 

 and both are, I believe, unpublished localities. The Bearberry 

 was growing in the company of ling, cowberry, crowberry, 

 bilberry, Nardus, etc., on steep hill sides at an elevation of 

 about 1,200 feet. In neither case did the Bearberry extend 

 on to the plateau above. The Yorkshire locality was on 

 Pendleside Grit, and the Derbyshire one on Kinder Scout Grit.

 ARACHNIDA. 

 A Pseudo-scorpion new to Yorkshire (Chthonius 

 tetrachelatus Preys). — This evening, in Mr. Weaving's green- 

 liouse, Bottoms Wood, Slaithwaite, I took four examples of 

 Chthonius tetrachelatus Preys, from amongst leaf debris and 

 loose boards. This pseudo-scorpion has not before been met 

 with in, and is the seventh species of the order now on record for 

 Yorkshire. It will probably, if looked for, be found in similar 

 situations elsewnere in the county. — Wm. Falconer, Slaith- 

 waite, June 15th. 1908.
