According to Leroy, Beurre Seringe should be a synonym of Doyenne 

 de Saumur ; but our trees received of these varieties are not identical. 

 According to the Jardin Fruiterer, Beurre Seringe is identical with 

 Harnon. Not having trees of that variety with which to compare it, 

 we for the present place it here.
