appearance, originally formed part of the adjacent waste bog, but 
lias been reclaimed at some distant date. It is crossed by a cart- 
track, apparently used for conveying turf from the moss. Most of 
the ground in question Avas covered Avith- grass and weeds, but 
there Avere some patches of potatoes. Extending over a length of 
from twenty to thirty yards, the Anthoxanthum grew in fair quantity, 
with all the appearance of being native, among grass and common 
weeds (no introduced plants.) It is, however, possible it may have 
been introduced with grass-seed. On closer examination of the 
specimens, I find some differ slightly from the example gathered 
by Mr. Briggs, and furnished me through the Exchange Club, in 
having all the parts rather larger, and the spikes and whole plant 
more robust. The peculiar scent is also stronger. All these 
differences may, however, be OAving to the richness of the peat-soil 
on which they grew. The seeds of this grass may probably have 
been introduced when this part of the old bog was reclaimed. —

Alopecurus fnlvus, Sm. South-west margin of the mill-pool at 
Vale Bridge Common, near Hayward’s Heath, East Sussex. Sep- 
tember 2, 1876. There is no record for East Sussex in ‘ Topog. 
Bot.’ — J. L. Waeeen. 
Pulypogon Uttoralis, Sm. Plumstead Practice-ground, Kent. 
Coll., Jos. B. French. I am sorry I cannot give the date of collec- 
tion of these specimens, but I believe it to be 1848. I am not 
aware that the plant has been gathered at Plumstead since altera- 
tions of the ground. — F. M. Webb.

Sclerochloa prommhens, Beauv., var. Specimens of a perfectly 
upright form from clay fields, Khkdale, north of Liverpool. Sep- 
tember, 1874. The type is common in similar situations both 
sides of the Mersey ; but the plant sent is so distmct in its general 
appearance as to render it Avorthy of notice. Besides the different 
habit of growth, the whole plant is far less rigid in its character.

borough Pier, collected by Crawford. — J. T. Bosavell. 
Poa sudetica, Haenke. In June, 1876, I found this grass near 
the under end of two of the densely-wooded deans above Hundalee 
Mill, on the Jed, Avhich extends its range in this district about 
twelve miles hi a southerly direction. — Andeeav Beotheeston. 
Festuca ambigua, Le Gall. Seed from plants gathered on sides 
of Gala, Selkirk, July, 1873, and grown in garden, June, 1876 ; 
and a few specimens for comparison, raised from seed of specimens 
received from Dr. BosAvell. They were grown alongside of each 
other. Those from Dr. B.’s plant Avere stronger and more erect in 
habit than the Gala plants when growing. — Andeew Beotheeston.
