numbers, on an alder tree at Adel Moor. Leeds. It was first 

 noticed as a British species last year (see ' E. M. Mag.', 1907, 

 pp. 103-104). I have to thank Mr. E. A. Newbery for kindly 

 identifying the species. — E. W. Morse, Leeds, i6th October,

NBVROPTBRA. 

 Calopteryx virgo near Tadcaster. — The Rev. Cyril D. 

 Ash has sent me specimens of the very pretty dragon-fly 

 Calopteryx virgo, which he took at Saxton, near Tadcaster, in 

 1907. When the Y.N.U. visited Tadcaster several years ago I 

 found the other British species C. splendens to be common on 

 the Wharfe there, and it is now satisfactory to know that both 

 occur in the district.— Geo. T. Porritt, Dalton, Huddersfield.

FLOWERING PLANTS. 



While in Lincolnshire during the past summer, I had the 

 gocd fortune to discover a plant which had not been recorded 

 previously for the county. This new record was Scrophularia 

 EhfhuHi Stev. (=5. alata Gilb. and S. umbrosa Dum.). It 

 was found in an open space in a small wood by a stream in the 

 parish of Mere (County Div. 13). The specimen is now in the 

 County Herbarium. — W. W^right Mason, B.A., St. Mary's, 

 Bootle.
