 March, 1917, queried as P. alpinus (^riifescens), which, at this early 

 season, it rather resembled ; but the characters seemed to fit P. colo- 

 ratus better, and Mr. Arthur Bennett, after he had seen living 

 specimens, confirmed my suggestion. An interesting state.

Obs. In a recent letter from Mr. Bennett he mentions that 

 Dr. Hagstrom has determined a plant collected by the Rev. R. P. 

 Murray at Baltonsborough, dis. 8, in August, 1881, and named by Ar. B. 

 P. puslllus, var. pseudo-trichoides, to be P. piisilhis X trichoides 

 ( X -P. francoiiicus Fischer). " 1 have just looked up the specimens, 

 and they are very trichoides-Vike.''' Although P. trichoides is not 

 known for Somerset, it does occm' in Devon ; so further research is 

 desirable.
