MISCELLANEOUS NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS.

deposited its eggs in the larva it found there ; but 1 do not think 
it likely, because the two Ichneumons were not the same species, 
nor even the same family, one belonging to the Ichneumonuhti 
and the other to the BraconUhi'. — John L. Bridgman. 
Norfolk Amber. — ^Ir. A. C. Savin has placed in my hands a 
piece of Norfolk Amber containing a Spiiler. The specimen was 
obtained, among other-s, from a fislierman at Mundesley, and there 
is every reason to believe that it really belongs to Norfolk. Ihe 
Kev. U. r. Cambridge, who has examined it, writes that the 
Spider “ is a ? of one of the Theriiliides, but what genus I cannot 
say with certainty, as those j)arts on which the distinguishing 
characters cliiefly depend are not discernible. It is, however, if 
not a Ncstiaix, vcyy nearly allied indeed to it.” — Clement Beid.

The circle of observation was extended to a si.x-mile radius at the 
commencement of the year ; this, with a more careful examination 
of the previous district, resulted in an adilition of forty species and 
five varieties of Flowering Plants to the list of the Club. 
The Caricfis have been more thoroughly "worked ; but the 
most interesting discovery was Aira canescens, found by 
!Mr. Walter Cordwcll in a large pit of post-glacial gravel, 
known as “ Ilomerstield Heath,” on the south side of the 
Waveney Valley, about twenty miles from the coast. This rare 
grass, which is plentiful on the Yarmouth and Lowestoft Denes, 
has not hitherto been recorded so far inland. The specimens, 
though small, were abundant, and there are no reasons for suppos- 
ing it is anything else but native; its presence here with Teesdalia 
nudicaulits in the same spot, and TrifoUinn tsuffocatuin, Rnmex 
maritimus, Foeniculum vulgare, Samolus valerajidi in the 
immediate neighbourhood, allbrds distinct traces of the maritime 
flora which once prevailed in the Waveney Valley, and confirms 
the indigenous character of plants of the same species, which have 
long been known to exist on the present coast line. 
The manuscript notes made by the late Eev. E. A. Holmes, F.L.S., 
on the Botany of the neighbourhood, have been placed in the 
writer’s hands ; they e.xtend over a period of fifty years, and adtl 
many species — forty-eight in all — to the present list. Through
