mr. w. g. clarke’s botanical notes from breckland. 9 
Grimes’ Graves in Santon parish, in August, and I found 
a large area covered with it conjointly with Poteriitm 
sanguisorba, L., immediately east of the Devil's Ditch on the 
north part of Cranwich Heath. On August 23rd, Dianthus 
deltoides, L., was found by Mr. T. H. Russell and 
Dr. L. Hemington Pegler growing in a pasture near 
Brettenham Church; and two days later I also visited the 
spot, and found a considerable number of clusters, mostly 
seeding, but a few in flower. 
In addition to Barnham Cross Common, where it is fairly 
abundant, Silene otites, Wibel, was observed at Gravel Hill, 
Brandon, on July 17th, when the tallest plant measured was 
18 inches in height. In August, however, a specimen 
measured by Mr. W. H. Burrell and myself was 29-J inches 
high. A few plants were noted on a bank in Icklingham 
between the seventh and eighth milestones from Thetford 
on the road between that town and Newmarket ; an abundance 
of plants on a pasture bordering the fen at Eriswell ; and 
a large number in Elveden on the east side of the highway 
between that village and Brandon. In August, Mr. H. D. 
Hewitt noted a few specimens on Langmere Hill, Brettenham, 
and on West Harling Heath. I found the plant abundant on 
a bank on the south side of the road half-way between 
Thetford and Rushford, and in the latter parish ; while a few 
hundred yards east of Cranwich Heath, on both sides of the 
road between there and Mundford, S. otites was growing 
almost as thickly as a hay crop, many of the plants being 
from 25 to 28 inches in height. There were also a few 
specimens on the higher portion of Cranwich Heath near the 
gravel pit. I noted Silene conica. L., by the road leading to 
Lingheath in J une ; and the same month, in company with 
Mr. Hewitt, found it by the road between Croxton and 
Fowlmere. On a restricted area of Barnham Cross Common 
Arenaria tennifolia, L., was found abundantly in June, south 
of Wellington Plantation, Weeting, on the south side of the 
road half-way between Thetford and Rushford, and on 
a breck close by the inn at Elveden, in August. Messrs. 
Burrell, Peake and I found small specimens of Stellaria
