cluded Oxycoccus x)cilustris Pers. from West Chiltington, Fyrola rotundi-

The Distribution of species on bombed sites in Huee 
This exhibit included four maps, each showing the distribution of 
one of the following species; — Senecio sqwalidus L., Spriccio viscosus 
L., Sisymbrium orientale L. and Sisymbrium altissimum L. on Hull 
bombed sites, examined during the summer of 1950. Herbarium sheets 
of these plants were also exhibited. The maps were prepared by 
photographing a plan of Hull ; scale inches = 1 mile. In the case of 
each species map, sites on which the species concerned was found were 
marked in red. The position of other sites examined was shown in 
white, some two hundred and fiftj’’ sites being investigated.

SENECIO X LONDINENSIS Louseey. 
A specimen of Senecio x londinensis Lousley {Senecio viscosus L. x 
S. squalidus L.), found on a Hull bombed site, was also exhibited to- 
gether with drawings to show how the characters of the hybrid differed 
from those of the parent plants.

Twenty Specimens of Wooe Aeiens (Fresh Materiae) 
These were collected in Becll'ordshire. They weie mostly of Austra- 
lian origin and had been brought to Britain as seeds or fruits in wool. 
Some of these foreign plants are now locally common in districts where 
‘shoddy’, in the form of waste from woollen mills, is used as a valued 
manure. Most of them are i^ery sensitive to frost and unlikely to per- 
sist as weeds.
