268 Willis and Bur kill — Flowers and 
(8) One species, do., rare. Thysanoptera. (9) Thrips sp. freq. 
No alpine observations. 
The above are almost the only flowers which form any 
conspicuous part of the flora above 650 feet, in September. 
We rarely went into lower levels, and generally were at high 
ones (1000-2000 feet). The following flowers were, however, 
present in noteworthy numbers besides those described : 
Brassica Sinapis , Visiani (common in fields), Polygala serpyl- 
lacea , Weihe (on the hills, frequent), C-er ostium glomeratum , 
Thuill., Hypericum quadrangidum , H. pulchrum , Lotus corni - 
culatus , Rubus fruticosus (nearly over), Circaea lutetiana , 
Pimpinella Saxifraga , Solidago Virgaurea , Achillea Mille- 
folium , Chrysanthemum Segetum (abundant in fields and in 
full flower), Cnicus palustris , Hieracium Pilosella , Euphrasia 
officinalis, besides other wind-fertilized or very inconspicuous 
flowers. These plants must have affected the numbers (though 
probably not the proportions) of visitors to the flowers we 
have considered. Only rarely did any of them occur above 
the limit of the Bracken ( Pteris ). 
Summing up as before the subalpine visitors, we get : —
