ClIARA TOMENTOSA, LiN., IN XORFOLK, III AugUSt, 1881, wlule 
‘ dragging ’ for Potamogetons in the Hundred Stream and Heigham 
Sounds, the drag brought up large numbers of specimens of various 
Characese. Among them two specimens, in bad condition, of 
Chara tomentosa, Lin., which was not only an addition to the Flora 
of the county, but also to England. With it were growing Chara 
coniraria, Klitz., G. stelligera, Bauer (in good fruit, in which state 
it is very rare on the Continent), C. fragilis, &c. It has long been 
known from Ireland, having been found in 1841 in Belvidere Lake, 
in Westmeath, by the late Dr. Moore ; and subsequently in the 
Liver Shannon, below Portumna. In Europe it occurs from Sweden ! 
southwards to France ! It may be known from all our other species 
by its large bract cells and stijiulodes. — Arthur Bennett, F.L.S.
