Aceras anthropophora R. Br. 3. There is a specimen in Herb. 

 Brit. Mus. gathered by Mr. F. A. Hanbury at Haslingfield in May, 

 1863 ; and I saw it growing there, but very sparingly, in June, 

 1895. There is no other recent Cambs record, and it is probably 

 extinct both on Hildersham Furze Hills and on Barrington Hill.

 1894 ; and 2. Dernford Fen, 1891 ; I. H. Burkill. The latter is 

 doubtless Newbould's station. 3. Very plentiful at Haslingfield in

 Burkill found it in the other station given for Paris. 



ilalanthus nivalis L. 2.* River bank near Whittlesford Station, 

 1890 ; I. H. Burkill. 



Allium oleraceum L. 3. With regard to the doubt cast on Mr. 

 Wanton's record on p. 236 of the Flora, I have seen a manuscript 

 note of Prof. Babington's which ran: "Mr. Newbould saw the 

 plant and it was A. oleraceum.'' I could only find A. imiealeh., 

 which is plentiful in the locality. — A. ursinum L. 2.* Wood by the 

 river near Whittlesford Station. A very local and rare plant in the 

 county.
