The following will probably be issued soon, having been delayed in 
publication :—The Peak of Derbyshire (C. E. Moss), Hampshire 
and Isle of Wight and North-West Yorkshire (W. M. Rankin), 
Kent (A. G. Tansley), Norfolk Broads (M. Pallis and J. Shaw), 
North-East Yorkshire (W. G. Smith). Surveys are in progress in 
the following districts :—South-East Scotland, Orkney Islands, 
Caithness, Lanarkshire, Galloway, Dartmoor, East Devon, the 
Malverns, Cheshire, East Yorkshire, and Dublin. 
Since this communication was read, Professor Trail, in 
the presidential address to Section K, British Association, 
Sheffield Meeting, Sept. 1910 (see Natwre, No. 2136, p. 452, 
Oct. 1910), has issued a strong appeal for a complete botanical 
survey of the British Islands. He outlines the present state 
of knowledge, and points out where gaps exist. The address 
takes a somewhat broader view than has been attempted 
here, taking account of all sides of plant-distribution, and 
it should be read by all interested in the subject. 
NOTES ON THE BRITISH SPECIES OF UTRICULARIA. By 
ARTHUR BENNETT, F.L.S. 
No. 1. Utricularia vulgaris, Linn., “ Sp. PL,” 18, 1753.— 
Linnzeus here mentions a major and a minor form, but no 
one seems to have taken them up. U. vulgaris, L., var. 
a typica, Meister ex Williams, “Prod. Fl. Brit.,” pt. 6. 345, 
1909. U. vulgaris, L., var. magniflora, Kamienski, Lc. 
These varietal names are necessary, as Meister and Williams 
consider U. major (neglecta) as a variety of vulgaris. 
This seems to be generally distributed through the 
British Isles, occurring in about thirty Scottish counties,
