ii6 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



FT. miiromm, near North Roe. — Edm. Flo. — This vague locality 

 may cciually apply to the Bjorgs of Skelberry on the one side, 

 or to Buiga Taing on the other — to H. Schftiidtii or to H. 

 zetlandicum. I'or the rest, his H. dulnum (J), H. sylvaticum^ 

 and //. dentiadaium are even more ambiguous. 



H.JloccuIosuni, T.ackh. — Tate, in "Journ. Bot.," 1866, p. 6. — The 

 single example in " Hb. Mus. Brit." cannot, I think, be referred 

 to this species. It ai)i)ears to belong to the Oreadea-scapigera, 

 or ])ossit)ly to the Vulgata-silvatica. Mr. Linton includes this 

 in his " Brit. Hier.," but informs me that he has not seen the 

 specimen. 



H. buglossoides^ Arv.-Touv. — Mr. Linton now considers that the 

 much-discussed Cliva Hill plant is correctly referred to H. 

 Onades^ var. siibglabratiwi. 



H. gothicu7n. Fries. — Included in Linton's "Brit. Hier.," but neither 

 Mr. Linton, Mr. Hanbury, nor the writer can find any basis for 

 the record. 



H. rubicundu7ji^ Hanb., var. Boswelli^ Lint. — Included in the 

 '' Brit. Hier.," on the authority, I believe, of the Rev. E. F. 

 Linton. Mr. Hanbury refers the plant to H. ScJwiidtii^ and 

 the Rev. W. R. Linton writes, " I should rather agree with 

 Mr. Hanbury and refer the plant to H. SchmidtUy In this 

 case the material is rather scanty. 



H. orinie/es, W. R. Lint. — Hanbury, '^Journ. Bot.," 1893, P- i^* 

 Trail, "Additions, etc.," "Annals," 1906, p. 96. — The remark 

 under H. biiglossoides also applies to this. 



H. stictopliyllum^ Dahlst. — In the " Botany of the Faeroes," p. 642, 

 Mr. Dahlstedt writes, "I have seen specimens of this form from 

 ... the Shetland Islands (W. H. Beeby)." The plant, how- 

 ever, is not present in my collection. I wrote to Mr. Dahlstedt 

 about it last June, but as I have not yet received his reply I 

 think it best to exclude the species until information is forth- 

 coming. 



H. lasiophylhim^ Tate, see H. Schviidtii^ fealense. 

 H. duriceps, Hanb., see If. silratiann, niic7'acladium. 

 H. vu/gafiwi, Tate, see H. protradiun. 

 H. crocatnm, Tate, see H. demissum^ australius. 

 H. truncatum^ Lindeb., see H. subtruncatum. 



Thames Ditton, December 1907. 



[The foregoing was in type last December, but was held over 

 from the January number owing to want of space. And now we 

 have to deplore the loss of the Rev. W. R. Linton, who passed
