MR. KE. J. LOWE ON SCOLOPENDRIUM VULGARE. 539 
Dr. Scott reports that Mr. Lang examined a detached portion 
(of the prothallus sent to Kew on January 6th), and looked at 
the upper surface of the whole under a simple microscope. He 
found no antheridia, and archegonia only on the lower surface 
(of the detached bit). Of course a thorough examination could 
not be made without killing the prothallus. 
Independent cultures are still under examination both at 
Kew and by Mr. Druery.
