Rouy and Fouc. On the sites of old poultry runs on the sandhills 
off the North Drive, St. Anne’s-on-the-Sea, north-west Lancashire, 
v.-c. 60, 6th and 20th July, and 3rd and 31st August 1907. My 
contributions to the Club this season are aliens which have been 
introduced in grain siftings and sweepings upon wliich poultry 
are fed. As building o])erations extend the fowls are removed, and 
on the site of their old feeding grounds seeds of foreign plants 
germinate, and by the time that they flower and fruit builders’ 
or other traffic destroys them. I have collected many other aliens, 
some of which shall be sent next year, as all their names are not 
yet worked out. The S. Colu 77 iiice was widely spread over the area 
bounded by St. Leonard’s Road, St. Andrew’s Road South, Beach 
Road, and the North Drive. Its nanow fruits bring it under Rouy 
and Foucaud’s var. a. ste 7 iocarpu/n. (‘Flore de France,’ ii. p. 21.)

isolated examples, in the same stations as Sisy 77 ib 7 -iu 77 i Colu 77 i 7 uc,

Smapis jimcea^ Linn. This plant was under observation 
throughout the season. It grew on the margin of a cindered 
passage-way between the North Drive and St. George’s Gardens, 
St. Anne’s-on-the-Sea (v.-c. 60), along the side of Atherstone House. 
At first I took it to be a starved state of Smapis 7 iigra, Linn., 
but as growth progressed it was clearly seen not to be that plant. 
Examples of this starved condition, collected 26th July and 31st 
August 1907, are included in the parcel. Besides this station there 
were several others on the contiguous sandhills of a more luxuriant 
growth, some of them in stations which had been free from fowls 
for at least three or four years ; the best examples were collected 
7th September 1907. Some plants in my herbarium from Swine- 
miinde, Pomerania, suggested to me that the plant might be the
