Botanical Notes from Sheffield : Correction. — The following records in 



Botanical Notes from the Shemeld District, ■ Naturalist,' Jan. 1895, pp. 7'}\* 

 I find to be erroneous: — Page 7, Ranunculus kederacms L. Redmires (T.G.), 

 Snake Inn (T.G.). Page n, Crepis hieracioides Wald. & Kit. The Rev. W. R- 

 Linton pronounces the former to be R. Lenormandi F. Schultz, and the latter I 

 be only a form of C. virens L. Page io, (Enantke Phellandriurn Lam. Th 

 must be struck out, as I understand from Mr. Snelgrove that his record rests upon 

 an error.- -Thos. Gibbs, Burton -on -Trent, Sep. 21st, 1896.
