APPENDIX.

NOTE ON THE FLORA OF THE NEIGHBOURHOOD OF EALING.

The Flora of the neighbourhood of Ealing is characterised more by the absence of any special features than by their presence. Taking the district No. V in Trimen and Dyer's Flora of Middlesex, which reaches from the Thames to Harrow and from Heston to a line running north from Hammersmith, these authors find that of the 444 species of flowering plants and ferns found in the surrounding counties-Herts, Essex, Surrey, and Buckinghamshire244 are absent from Middlesex; which only contains II species' absent from all these four counties. With regard to Ealing, the few following may be mentioned :—Bupleurum tenuissimum, L., a very rare plant, is said to grow profusely on Ealing Common. Iris fœtidissima, L., and Ophioglossum vulgatum, L., were found at Perivale. Asplenium Ruta-muraria, L., on an old wall at Greenford ; Spiranthes autumnalis, Ric. L., on Hanwell Heath. Solanium Dulcamara, L., with yellow fruit, formerly grew in a hedge where the Helena College now stands. Elders with green berries when ripe, the wild crab and pear, grow in the

hedges of Drayton House. Beyond this, there is nothing calling for special remark which the reader will not find in the admirable Flora already referred to.

SCIENCE AND ART SCHOOLS.

Emanating from the Free Public Library were established Science and Art Schools in connection with the Department of South Kensington, under the chairmanship of Mr. J. Allen Brown, with General T. B. Collinson, R.E., as Hon. Secretary. Subsequently, these classes were merged in a Technical School, under the Acts, General Collinson, who has always taken a warm interest in educational matters, being the Hon. Secretary.

DEATH OF THE RIGHT HON. SPENCER
WALPOLE.

Since the above was written, the death of Mr. Walpole, at the advanced age of ninety-one, has taken place at his residence, The Hall. No fuller testimony as to the universal high regard in which the deceased was held locally, could be afforded than the scene at his funeral. All classes gathered to share in the last solemn service for one whose upright character had inspired sincere personal respect.
