EnteroinorpJia Hopkirkii. — " In last montli of the ' Phytologist,' a cor- 

 respondent remarks, ' t!)e Enteromorpha Hopkirkii is a British Alga.' I 

 should feel obliged if yourself or your correspondent could inform me after 

 whom this seaweed received its specific name, and any other information 

 you may be able to ali'ord respecting the person after whom it is named. . . . 

 I am in anticipation of receiving a small parcel of South African Mosses, 

 in exchange for English ones ; and, if any of your correspondents care to 

 have any of these specimens, I shall be glad to send some in exchange for 

 English ones (when they arrive, which may be in a month or two). In the 

 meantime, any English ones which might be entrusted to my care could be 

 forwarded by next outward mail along with my own parcel. — Chas. C.
