BOTANICAL SECTION. 
~ir OCAL field-botanists have been well repaid for their 
' efforts during the year 1899. Several flowering 
plants new to the district, and some additional localities for 
rare species, have been discovered. Among the latter a small 
patch of Cerasfium arvense, found by Miss Roper near Port- 
bury ; Carex axillaris and Scirpits Tabernmmontani^ both 
on Ken Moor ; and Carex HornscliucMana on Clapton Moor, 
as well as in Max Bog, are the most remarkable. Three new 
and well-marked Rubi have been added to our list ; and a 
bladder- wort {U. intermedia) not previously found in the 
county of Somerset has been identified from foliage-specimens 
taken from a peaty ditch near Weston-in-Grordano in 1894. 
Scilla autumnalis^ on St. Vincent's Rocks, flowered more 
freely than is usual.
