K. britannica Domin. Worle Hill, N. Somerset, July 7, 1895. 
Legit C. Bucknall, det. H. S. T. I showed this to Mr. A. J. 
Wilmott, who thinks it undoubtedly K. vallesiana. Later : 
Mr. Wilmott said he thought a sheet had come in from Worle 
Hill labelled K. vallesiana , and that the label on mine was prob- 
ably meant for K. vallesiana. — J.E.L. I believe correct. — A B. 
Among Bucknall’s duplicates were both plants from W^orlc Hill. 
Mr. Little kindly sent me his sheet, which I agree is small 
vallesiana. — I regret the confusion. — H.S.T.

Bromus madritensis Curtis. (1) Limestone rubble by River 
Avon, below Bristol, v.c. 34, June 12, 1921. ( 2 ) Slopes of 
Durdham Down, Bristol, v.c. 34, June 4, 1922. — H. S. Thompson. 
Sent for new members. This rare grass, locally abundant on the 
Gloucester side of the R. Avon below Bristol, appears at present 
to be confined as a native in that county to portions of a very 
narrow strip of Avonian (Limestone) a mile and a half in length. 
It avoids the remarkable deposit of Dolomitic Conglomerate 
about Bridge Valley Road. In Somerset it is native only on 
that side of the R. Avon in an extremely confined area on the 
same limestone rock. Reappearing here and there near towns 
on the S. Wales littoral, this Atlantic and southern species is 
also known to have been established since 1848 by the river and
