not a fall of 0-01 of an inch or more. The latter portion of the month 
was generally dry. The total values were 2-58 inches at Henley-in- 
Arden, 2T9 inches at Strelley, 2-06 inches at Coston Rectory, 2-01 
inches at Loughborough, and 1-45 inches at Hodsock. The heaviest 
fall in one day was 0-44 inches at Coston Rectory, on the 18th. Snow 
fell on the 1st, 17tli, 18tli, and 20tli. At Loughborough a lunar halo 
was seen at 6 a.m. on the 8th, and on the afternoon of the 18tli light¬ 
ning and thunder were observed, and distant lightning in the evening 
of the same day. Sunshine was deficient. Gales, chiefly S.W., 
were experienced on the 2nd, 7th, 10th, and 18tli.

British Moss Flora. —In the notice of this work, Vol. VIII., p. 25, 
it should have been stated that Part X. will conclude Vol. I., not 
Part IX., as there stated. 
Flora of Derbyshire. —The Rev. W. Hunt Painter, has for 
some time past been engaged in preparing a new Edition of his 
“ Notes on the Flora of Derbyshire,” and has made numerous 
additions thereto both of Plants and Habitats. It will be issued to 
subscribers, as soon as printed, at 2/6 per copy. Subscribers’ names 
may be sent to Messrs. Wright, Dain, Peyton, and Co., “ The Herald 
Press Office,” Birmingham. 
Objects for the Microscope. —Messrs. James Carter and Co., 237, 
High Holborn, London, W.C., announce in their new seed catalogue 
for the present year that they are prepared to supply curious seeds for 
microscopic objects to those who desire them, at the following rates :— 
12 varieties for 2s. Gd., 25 for 5s., 50 for 10s. 6d., and 100 for 21s. This 
is the first occasion on which, so far as we know, such an offer has 
been made by either of our largest seedsmen, who must have unusual 
facilities for supplying the microscopist with many interesting opaque 
objects. 
Additions to the Flora of Sutton Park. —I am pleased to say 
that two very interesting additions to this flora—as recorded in the 
“Notes on the Flora of Sutton Park”—have been made, namely, 
Walileribergia liederacea and Lycopodium clavatum. Wahleubergia 
liederacea has been found associated with Anagallis tenella in several 
places by my kind friend Mr. A. W. Wills. This is a very pleasing 
addition and one that I had always expected would be found in this 
locality, as there are in this place all the natural surroundings required 
by such a plant. Lycopodium clavatum has also been found in this 
locality by Miss Ethel Stone, of Erdington, a young lady who takes 
great interest in botanical science, and whose more keen observation 
has enabled her to find a plant for which I have searched hitherto in 
vain. Lycopodium clavatum is recorded for “ Sutton ” by Samuel 
Freeman in the “ Pliytologist ” for July, 1842, page 262, but as Miss 
Stone had never heard of this record her discovery of the plant in 
Sutton Park is as truly an original one as was Freeman’s. When the 
“ Notes on the Flora of Sutton Park” was published I was not aware 
of the existence of Freeman’s paper, hence was unable to acknowledge 
—as I should gladly have done—his priority of record in the case of 
some of the rarer plants I have therein recorded. J. E. Bagnall.
