SHORT NOTES. 
Coproum Bursa ar Briguton. — Some fine specimens of this rare 
and curious sea-weed have been thrown up by the sea at Brighton 
New Wix1s Recorps.—I send you specimens of Siwn latifolium 
from the canal near Swindon, and of Nasturtium sylvestre, Diplotawis 
muralis, and Hypocheris radicata from Chippenham, which I believe 
have not been qefore recorded for Wilts.—W. A. Crarxe. 
Oropancue Picrivis iy SurkEY.— In June last I found, between 
Witley and Hambledon, Surrey, in a large piece of waste sandy 
ground, an Orobanche which on examination I took to be O. Picridis. 
The name has since been confirmed by Messrs. W. H. Beeby, 
Arthur Bennett, and others. This plant has twice before been 
recorded for the county ; but in one case ( fide Mr. Arthur Bennett) 
verens, Leontodon hispidum, and, in two cases, Nepeta Glechoma. 
It entirely avoided leguminous plants, which abound at the spot,
