SHORT NOTES. 



Deschampsia discolor E. & S. IN Salop. — Last June, at the 

 meeting of the Midland Union of Natural History Societies at 

 Ellesmere, Mr. F. Bellamy, of Oxford, collected some specimens 

 of plants, which he brought me to look over. Among them was 

 a form of the above grass, which he gathered near the mere. —

KuBi "new to Ireland." — In noting R. Selmeri as "new to 

 Ireland" in last month's issue, Mr. Brenan overlooks three published 

 records of its occurrence in this country — those of Eev. W. M. 

 Eogers {Journ. Hot. 1894, p. 43), W. A. Shoolbred [Irish Naturalist, 

 1894, p. 148), and Eev. C. H. Waddell {ibid. p. 166). R. micans, 

 on which Mr. Brenan bestows the same honour, has also been 

 previously recorded from Ireland (Journ. Bot. 1894, p. 359). —

Wilts Eecords, 1894. — In preparing my list, I have to express 

 my obligations to Messrs. J. G. Baker, Arthur Bennett, H. & J. 

 Groves, James Saunders, and W. H. Beeby, to whom I must now 

 add the Eevs. W. Moyle Eogers and E. S. Marshall, for critical 

 help. Plants which are new for only the north or south vice-county 

 are so indicated. A very large number of additional localities for 

 plants already recorded have been noted and verified during the 

 past seven years, some of which are important enough for special 

 notice on a future opportunity: — Ranunculus Flammuia var. pseuilo-
