six, and the same number of species, as I reckon them, inhabits 

 both countries, it may be said that my paper has brought our 

 knowledge of the genus approximately to the level reached in 

 France twenty years ago. I would add that, in the British vice- 

 comital distribution which I gave under each species, the Isle of 

 Wight is duly credited with such plants as it is known to possess, 

 and I think few others are likely to be added to the list. 

 F. micrantha and F. Vaillantii were rejected as insufficiently 

 vouched for. To see Fumitories in variety it is necessary to go 

 beyond the Isle of Wight to some of our Western districts where, 

 as in the Eiviera and other parts of France, they occur in great 

 beauty and profusion, and form a conspicuous feature of the flora. 

 It may be of interest to note that I received this summer, from 

 Miss R M. Cardew, fresh examples of the Orobanclie growing on 

 Erijngium at St. Helen's Spit, and found on examination that it 

 was not 0. amethystea Thuill., as recorded in the Flora of Hants 

 for that locality, but typical 0. minor Sm., identical in every re- 

 spect with the ordinary form of Surrey clover-fields. Miss Cardew 

 arrived independently at the same conclusion, and, I think, believes 

 that no other form occurs on the Spit. — H. W. Pugsley. 



Potamogeton trichoides in Scotland. — Among some speci- 

 mens of the genus sent me by Mr. J. E. Matthews from the 

 parish of Dunning, Perthshire, there is a sheet of the above 

 species. Although there is no flower or fruit, the habit and 

 leaves, &c, of the plant are unmistakable. This is its first record 

 for Scotland, its nearest locality in England being at Hempstead- 

 cum-Eccles in N. Norfolk (Mennell sp). — Arthur Bennett. 



West Lancashire Extinctions. — We regret to state that, 

 owing to recent drainage operations on a large scale, the whole of 

 the lowland moor or peat bog known as Cockerham Moss has been 

 quite altered in character, and no ground now remains in an 

 aboriginal condition. The following plants, which formerly had 

 here their only West Lancashire station, have entirely disappeared 

 and must be deleted from the flora of v.-c. 60 : — Drosera anglica 

 Huds., Carex limosa L., Sphagnum riparium Angstr., S.fuscum 

 Klinggr., S. obtusum Warnst., Kantia submersa Arnell, and 

 Cephalozia Loitlesbergeri Schiffn. — J. A. Wheldon and A. Wilson. 



Hepatics new to Wales. — Cesia corallioides (Nees) and 

 Anthelia Juratzkana Limpr., these two rare alpine hepatics, were 

 collected on the summit of Snowdon, August, 1912, when I had 

 the pleasure of visiting it in company with Messrs. Duncan, 

 Ingham, Jones, and J. C. Wilson. — W. H. Pearson. 



Sagina procumbens L., forma. — The notes upon this in Journ. 

 Bot. 1912, 288, and 1913, 103, call to my notice some specimens, 

 obviously this pretty "double" state, sent me in 1911 by Miss 

 H. M. Salmon from Barcombe, Sussex. It had attracted notice 

 by its conspicuous white flowers, with petals longer than sepals, 

 and rock-gardeners might do well with it in cultivation. In 

 Phytologist, iii. 1000 (1850) the same form was recorded from 

 Staffordshire. — C. E. Salmon.
