of the Recent Flora of Britain. 
SciRPUS setaceus, Linn. 
Nuts. Interglacial, Redhall and Hailes. Previously re- 
corded in mistake from the Cromer Forest-bed. 
Scirpus lacustris, Linn. 
Nuts. Interglacial, Hailes and Cowden Glen. Preglacial 
(Cromer Forest-bed), common at Beeston and Mundesley. 
Scirpus maritimus, Linn. 
A single damaged nut, from peat beneath the sea-level at 
Southampton Docks, seems to correspond more closely with 
this species than with 5. lacustris. 
Eriophorum angustifolium, Roth. 
Portions of stem and base of the leafy bracts. Preglacial 
(Cromer Forest-bed), between Cromer and Runton. Several 
specimens showing the very characteristic bracts have lately 
been found. The nut of Eriophorum does not appear to be 
able to resist decay — it has not been found fossil. 
Cladium german i cum, Schrad. 
The hard fruit are occasionally found in the preglacial 
Cromer Forest-bed at Beeston and Mundesley. 
Carex dioica, Linn. 
Detached nuts. Postglacial (Clyde beds), Roxburgh Street, 
Greenock — two nuts received from Mr. Scott probably belong 
to this species. Interglacial, Redhall and Airdrie. 
Carex echinata, Murr. 
Nuts. Interglacial, Hailes and Redhall. 
Carex canescens, Linn. 
Nuts, retaining the pale colour. Interglacial, Redhall
