he by no means scorned our more lowly branch, indeed on one oc- 
casion when we were together at Pwlheli, in Carnarvonshire, when 
the writer found Agropyroti juncmni^ Beauv., var. megastachyufn, he 
was keenly interested in Agropyron^ and other grasses of the dunes.

Frederick Henry Arnold, M.A., LL.D. (see ‘ Journ. Bot.,’ 
1906, p. 287), was born at Petworth, Sussex, Feb. i8th, 1831, and 
died at Emworth, May 4th, 1906. In 1887, he published the 
‘ Flora of Sussex,’ a small handy volume, but not in the same rank 
as the ‘ Floras of Hampshire ’ and ‘ Middlesex.’ He was a pleasant 
correspondent, and from 1874 onwards the writer was in frequent 
communication with him. He wrote the Botany for the County of 
Sussex in the ‘Victoria County History,’ but for some years he 
had scarcely kept in touch with the developments of British 
Botany.
