Caithness station, so I should not be surprised to hear of its 
discovery by some of the rivers that flow into the Moray Firth. 
Carex acuta, L., var. prolixa (Fr. sp.)—Found as long ago as 
1844 by Mr Priest in Norfolk. I found a specimen in Mr 
Glaspoles’ herbarium; and again this year a specimen in the 
herbarium of the Rev. Mr Linton, gathered by Mr Cross near 
Ely, in Cambridgeshire. 
Carex acuta, 1, var. gracilesceus (Almquist).—Found by Mr 
A, Fryer in Cambridgeshire, and by Mr Beckwith in Shropshire. 
Carex aquatilis, Wahl. var. epigejos (Hartm.)—This, described 
as a species by Fries, and named the same year by Dr Lange 
C. borealis, was found in Perthshire by Dr White of Perth. 
Carex aquatilis, Wahl. var. cuspidata (Laestidius).—Gathered 
on the banks of the River Wick in Caithness last year by my 
friend Mr F. J. Hanbury, among whose specimens of salina I 
found it, my name having been since confirmed by Dr Almquist 
of Stockholm. 
Carex aquatilis, Wahl. var. virescens (kites —A pretty 
form of this plant found in Perthshire. 
Carex stricta, Good, var. turfosa (Fr. sp.)—Described by Fries 
as a species. Found by Mr A. Fryer in Cambridgeshire. 
Carex rigida, Good, var. inferalpina, Laestidius.—Found by 
Mr F. J. Hanbury on the little Culrannoch in Forfarshire last 
year. I have little doubt that the plant referred to by Dr 
Boswell in the third edition of English Botany as occurring in 
Little Craigendahl, Braemar, and simulating aqwatilis, is the 
same. 
Carex vesicaria, L., var. diochroa (Anders).—I have only seen 
a single specimen of this gathered on Ben Lawers by Mr G. C. 
Durce of Oxford. 
Spartina Townsendii (Groves)—Near Southampton, a grass 
coming somewhat between stricta and alterniflora. 
Agrestis nigra (Withering). — Found by Mr Bagnell of 
Birmingham in Warwickshire, and since in several English 
counties, and in Fifeshire by Dr Boswell.
