The scarcity of the commoner Ferns in tliis district is very curious. 
j\Ir. Galpin says of LaMra'a ililntaia, one of our commonest 
Norfolk Ferns, “ very rare,” and in our morning’s walk at Dickle- 
burgh the other day, I saw no Fern but Lustm-a filix vias, and 
though I kept a sharp look-out for Asplenium (uHantmn nvjriim, 
which in similar country to the north of Norwich would be almost 
certain to occur, I could not lind it, and 1 understood my kind 
friend IMr. DLv, that ho did not think a single plant of Brake 
(/Ve/7s tviuilina) would bo found within a radius of two miles from 
his old residence. 
In these notes I have not dealt with theappendi.xto Mr. Galpin’s 
list, including plants found beyond the six-mile radius, for I think 
most of the localities in it arc beyond our county, and therefore not 
of special interest to us as a Society. I do not intend to trouble 
you to-night with Mr. Galpin’s additions to our distribution list. 
I have worked them out in readiness for the “ List of Additions,” 
which w’ill, I suppose, be printed in the next number of our 
‘Transactions,’ completing the fourth volume. !Mr. Galpin has 
a long list of Ruhi. On these I offer no comment, feeling convinced 
that, in the present state of knowdedge of that genus, it is useless to 
do so. You may think this a harsh remark, but I can give you far 
better reason than only my own judgment for arriving at this 
conclusion. ^Ir. Arthur Bennett, whom I consider one of the best 
living authorities on British Botany, has just been publishing 
‘Notes on the London Catalogue’ of genus Rubua, 416 to 476 (that 
is, si.xty numbers remember), lie says, "Ruin, I make no comment 
on these difficult plants, feeling assured that the arrangement and
