NOTES ON THE BRITISH CHARACEZ FoR 1883. a 
Our plate represents C. aoe from Reddish, from specimens 
kindly forwarded to us by Mr. Bailey ; unfortunately it was collected 
too late to get a good he talents the plants having all been 
damaged and were throwing out a second growth of branches. The 
balacged figure of a yon branchlet shows the cells of the rudi- 
mentary secondary ring of stipulodes and cortex, which in the older 
whorls become invisible. 
LycHNOTHAMNUS STELLIGER, Braun.—In Braun’s ‘ Fragmente’ 
Chara obtusa, Desv., is included under Lychnothamnus with the 
above name. The development of the nucules is that of a Lychno- 
thamnus rather than a Chara, but the position of this plant does not 
seem, to us, to be yet_ — out satisfactorily. We hope to be able 
to examine more speci. of it, and the other Lychnothamnt, also 
Lamprothamnus (L. Tupscuroide). Hitiog the coming year. 
ToiypELLA pronirera, Leonh.—Lincoln 8., Deeping Fen, 1883,

time.

T. mrrtcata, Leonh.—Beds., near Luton, 1883, J. Saunders. 
Nrretta tenvissma, Kuetz. —Since the , Ml i of our last 
““ Notes” we have again seen the specimen in Herb. Borrer, used as a 
Mite are for Norfolk, and find its locality ‘‘ Roydon Fen, Cambridge,” 
so we think it best to erase the record for Norfolk oC Bot. 1883, 
p. 22, printed Norfolk W. instead of Norfolk E.
