of Erodium cicjctariuvi, of which also I send specimens (my 

 No. 36). In the British Museum there is a similar plant 

 collected by Mr. Marshall (No. 2924, April 1, 1905, on limestone 

 rocks, Purn Hill, Bleadon), on which he remarks, 'very glandular, 

 not musk scented, stamens (apparently) not bidentate at base.' — 

 W. C. Barton. From the broad stipules and other charactei's, 

 this seems to be referable to E. moscliatitvi, though the two 

 specimens before me are rather far advanced. If so, it is 

 extreme fj minor Rouy. — E. S. M." 



" Erifjeron mucronaius DC. Old walls, St. Peter Port, 

 Guernsey, August 4, 1912. A Mexican plant, established in 

 Guernsey over forty years. — W. C. Barton." 



"■Pyrola rotundifoUa L., form intermediate between type and 

 var. arenaria. Grande Mare, Guernsey, August 16, 1912. (See 

 Marquand's Flora of Guernsey and Journ. Bot. 1893 [334, 373] .) 

 It is unfortunate that the habitat of this plant is being rapidly 

 reduced. Only a very small area of La Grande Mare is still 

 undrained ; the large pools have disappeared, and a few years will 

 probably see the extinction of the marsh plants of the locality. — 

 W. C. Barton. The plant received differs from all those in my 

 herbarium by its smaller orbicular foliage and more numerous 

 flowers (twelve, besides what looks like a rudimentary one at the 

 apex) ; the fruit is also appreciably smaller. Of P. serotina Mieg. 

 I have seen neither specimens nor description ; Nyman makes 

 P. rotundifoUa var. arenaria Koch a synonym, and gives N.W. 

 France as one of its habitats, which brings it rather near to 

 Guernsey. There is still one blossom with the petals unshed, 

 though it was collected on August 16 ; by which time typical 

 rotundifoUa would be long over in the south of England. I fail 

 to see how this Guernsey specimen is intermediate between that 

 and the W. Lancashire var. maritima, which tends to be rather 

 dwarf ; there are only two bracts (not very large or conspicuous) 

 below the inflorescence. — E. S. M." 



" AnagaUis arvensis L. var. carnea (Schrank). Albecq, 

 Guernsey, August 16, 1912. The variety is frequent in Guernsey, 

 especially near the sea, growing with the type. I saw no blue- 

 flowered specimen in the island, and am convinced this is not a 

 hybrid, as suggested by Continental botanists and by Dr. Williams's 

 Prodronius, p. 431, but a colour form (see Journ. Bot. 1911, p. 44). — - 

 W. C. Barton. Correct; the petals are distinctly glandular- 

 ciliate.— E. S. M."

 Gatcombe Mill, N. Somerset, v.c. 6, June, 1912 (see Journ. Bot. 

 1912, p. 334). Specimens passed by Mr. Bucknall. — Jas. W.
