whether this is more like Sabini or rubigino. The prickles and 
leaves look very like those of se Orage the oi is rather that of 
the former. It comes very near in some respects the French

I can add but little tothe above. The prickles are sometimes 
quite ps sometimes decidedly curved. ey are stout, but

locality mentioned, has decidedly stouter prick few 
acicles. The leaflets are elliptical rather than ovate, an more 
acute than is usual in pimpinellifolia hybrids. Mr. Baker’s 
“rather thickly sprinkled with viscous glands’”’ is a better nee 
tion than his ‘densely glandular” of the Monograph. Ic

SECTION IV. CANINZE. 
This section of British Roses is by far the largest of the four in 
which they are Seong sed. Crépin, Rouy, and Keller all treat it 
on much the same lines, giving it a broader significance than 
Déséglise did, a regarded it as equivalent only to the Eu-canine 
subsection of the other three authors. The subdivisions follo 
by these four authors is set forth in my paper on the subsection 
Eu-canine in Journ. Bot. 1908, Suppl. 
I propose to subdivide the section into three subsections, viz. 
Villose, sO, rat and Eu-canine, the last-mentioned having 
been dealt with in this Journal as above quoted. leading
