SHORT NOTES. 



Carex paniculata in W. Kent. — In May last I found Carex 

 paniculata growing plentifully about Furnace and Scarlett's Mill 

 Pond, near Cowden, W. Kent. This species, the Kev. E. S. 

 Marshall informs me, has not been noted before for the vice- 

 county. — Ernest S. Salmon. 



" New Records for N. Lancashire. — The following plants, new 

 to N. Lancashire, have been found by me : — Raphanus maritimus. 

 Furnesa shore, near \Rampside. — Symphytum tuberosum. Side of 

 Coniston Lake. — Salix triandra. In hedge, road-side near Humphrey 

 Head. — Scluen us nigricans. Shore-bank E. of Treadley Point. I have 

 to thank Mr. Baker for naming the Salix. Of the first and fourth 

 he has seen specimens. — Lister Petty. 



Rubus argentatus P. J. Mueller. — Last September I found, 



near Shanklin, a bramble which Dr. Focke names as above. He 

 tells me that R. Winteri is a synonym. — Edward S. Marshall. 



Agaricus giganteus and A. maximus (see Journ. Bot. 1891, 



p. 380). — It is perhaps hardly necessary to point out that Dr. 

 Cooke, in Grevillea for December last, has based a part of his 

 defence on a printer's error—" A. Paxillus" instead of "a Faxillwt" 



in the proof which somehow came into his hands. The error 



was of course corrected before publication in this Journal. For the 

 rest it is enough to say that, if I am wrong, Dr. Cooke can correct 

 me in two and a half lines, instead of confusing the issue in two 

 and a half pages. — George Murray. 



The Mosses of Co. Donegal. — Mr. H. N. Dixon states [Journ. 

 Bot. 1891, 360) that he could find no records for Donegal, except 

 some half-dozen in Moore's Synopsis. If he will turn to this 

 Journal for 1886, p. 861, he will find a number of records by the 

 present writer, several of them differing from his own. If Mr. S. A.
