NOTES ON BRITISH CARICES 101 
C. divulsa, to which I should place it”; so the presence of a 
specimen of C. divulsa with Mr. Linton’s sheet has nothing to do 
with Babington’s remark, unless on the very extraordinary coinci- 
dence of C. ee dpi also present in specimens gathered four 
years before. It e Mr. Bennett (Watson Exch. Club, p. 12, 
1889-90) sites this pose nt of Babington, and says that Mr. 
Towndrow’s specimen ‘“ has well-formed nuts, though not mature; 
these are not exactly those of C. vulpina or divulsa, they differ 
from vulpina by being broader, and the apex much stouter; from 
diyulsa in being flatter, more tapered at the base, and also at the

we must question the occurrence of C. divulsa x vulpina for 
Britain. 
C. inflata Huds. var. brunnescens (And.) pi Head of the

M. Perth, &. The C. rhyne o—_* of the Lome Cat. is now 
identified with C. utriculata Boott. = C. inflata Huds. var. utri- 
culata (Boott.), but Kiikenthal uses C. rostrata Stokes, not C. in- 
flata Huds. A plant from — aeseepcae Sutherland W., Kiikenthal 
believes shows the prese f C. vesicaria, and that was my 
opinion at the time of plieieng, but although I made a careful 
examination I could find no vesicarza near.
