It may seem absurd to require common weeds like Anthriscus 
sylvestris and Briza media to be verified, but seeing that much 
trouble is often caused by imperfectly vouched records, I have made 
it a rule to have all plants newly recorded for a district, properly 
verified whenever practicable. It may be interesting to note that 
FParnassia palustris still lingers at Tothill, Miss S. Allett having 
sent me specimens in fruit which she gathered there on October 
8th. It appears to have been quite exterminated from its old 
Station in Alford parish. 
NOTES AND silanes 
a note from our friend Mr. James W. Addyman, B.A,, who is Vice- 
Consul at pee for Sweden and Norway, in Aidtens to Mr. m $ paper 
‘The Naturalist’ r 18 370. He thinks the Norsk word 
es 
e more correctly translated « almost,” as far as he can judge from 
ae translation of = Fenircs The word spel eget bears this meaning, and the 
Passage, to Mr. man’s mind, shows that the writer intended to convey 
the — a of doubifal. superiority in favour of six eggs.
