between it and 0. ericetoriim, were seen, and a fine colony of Catabrosa 
aquaticu, a rare plant in the county, w<as noted by the w'ell. The party 
then walked on to Trelleck Bog: this is, strictly speaking, lowland moor 
rather than true bog. Owing to the lateness of the season this ‘bog’ 
proved to be somewhat disappointing, very few’ plants havdng grown 
through the dead cover of last .year’s growth. After a picnic lunch the 
party divided. The main party walked via Pen-y-fan to Llandogo, 
examining an acid marsh on the way, whilst the other took a shorter 
I'oute through Cuckoo Wood. Since several members washed to return 
home in the evening, the Departure for Monmouth was made at 4 o’clock. 
Although, ow’ing to the backw’ardness of the season, many plants 
w’hich one would have normally seen were not in evidence, we were coni- 
l^ensated bj’ perfect weather and the pleasure of botanizing amid 
delightful scenery. 
Grateful thanks are due to Mr. S. G. Charles of Monmouth for his 
assistance in leading the excursion. His intimate knowledge of the 
country around Monmouth and its flora was much appreciated. 
A list of the more interesting species seen is appended. A few

excursions ; these are indicated by the name of the recorder.
