On Sagina ciliata. By Charles C. Babington, M.A. [Mr. Ba- 

 bington distinguishes S. ciliata by its sepals being adpressed to the 

 capsule in the mature plant, and S. apetala by its sepals ultimately 

 spreading in the form of a cross. Other differences are mentioned in 

 the characters printed, but these are rather verbal than real.]

 Prof. Schlechtendal. [Translation frsm the ' Botanische Zeitung.'] 



On the Causes which interfere with the Development of Flowers, 

 Fruits and Seeds. C. F. Gartner. [From C. F. Gartner's ' Beitrage

 important article of the ' Miscellanea,' is a plan or proposal for the 

 " Registration of Localities," — one likely to become very useful, if 

 supported and well carried out.]

Note on Fumaria Vaillantii. By C. C. Babington, M.A. [The 

 author of the Note deems it probable that we possess only one spe- 

 cies in Britain, under the two names of Vaillantii and parviflora. A 

 similar opinion was expressed in the * Cybele Britanuica,' in 1847.] 



Descriptions of new and more accurately discriminated species of 

 Odontites, growing in Britain. By John Ball, Esq., M.R.I. A. [Ex- 

 tracted from the ' Annals of Natural History.' The novelty appears 

 to lie in dividing the Euphrasia Odontites into two species, " verna" 

 (Reich.) and "rotundata" (Ball), and then subdividing the former into 

 two forms or varieties, " rubra" (Pers.) and " elegans" (Ball).]
