On Honeysuckle. — On an inspection of JSowerby's herbarium I am 

 very doubtful Nvhether lie had the same production in view as Fries-, 

 but the only specimen is either in so youn<f or so imperfect a state, and 

 so little agreeing with the figure, that I abide entirely by Fries' judg- 

 ment.

- On Walnut twigs. Apethorpe, Norths. Rev. M. J. Berlieley. — 

 Probably extremely common. S. Fraxini, Fr., of which the present 

 species is declared by Fries to be scarcely a variety, is now considered 

 a true species of T/p/tpanis. Such appears to me to be also the case 

 with S. Jufjlumlls, which, if I mistake not, in age, acquires a brownish 

 tinge, becomes rugged and opens with a distinct fissure. I do not, 

 however, refer the species to Tympanis, as I have not at present had 

 an opportunity of tracing it through its whole growth. My specimens 

 were gathered in the middle of April.
