d Heidelberg. After wee 
ak to England I took, pase by Mr.: Newbould and m 
son, several walks in the north of Surrey, to hunt up siuinble- 
stations for Mr. Beeby. The fe ale sets thus obtained, the English, 
the Belgian, and the German one, I asked Dr. Foeke to examine 
and rep sort upon, and he has now most kindly done so. at I 
propose to do in the present paper is to go through the list in 
man seriatim, and to place our English forms under his types as 
accurately as the material which I have at command will as 
e to do. ist does not pretend to be exhaustive, and i 
mainly confined to the British forms which I have myself oa 
Thee are two renege at the outset to be re in 
adjusting to Nyman’s the British catalogue of for Nyman’s 
list throughout runs ego parallel with Focke’s, with one im- 
portant exception. The groups are the same as in Focke, except 
that the large centr tral group of the Adenophori quite disappears. 
Some of the forms classed by Focke as ddenophori are mentioned 
y Nyman under other groups, as, for instance, chlorothyrsos, Gremlit 
and Leyi are placed by Nyman under silvaticus in the Villicaules 
group, but several of Focke’s other Adenophori, as, for instance, our 
most satisfactory British repreSentative of the group, the Rubus 
infestus of Weihe and Nees, I cannot trace in Nyman anywhere. I

group Adenophori in proper —— e should come on page 218 in

= other difficulty whale I find in dealing with Nyman’s cata- 
logue is that Genevier’s labours on the West French forms are 
eon fF all taken into account. In Genevier’s ‘Essai mono- 
graphique sur les Rubus da) bekain du Loire,’ which was published 
in 1869, 208 species are named and defined. It is only iy maaeaiae 
to suppose that the West French forms will in many cases fit in 
better with ours than those of Central re nletins but at least half 
the names employed by Genevier are not included in Nyman at all. 
The task of adjusting sg French to the German nomenc 
still remains to be perform 
In the following list the grou and numbers are followed as 
they stand in Nyman’s enumeration 
Ipmosatus Focke. 
1. Rubus Ideus has a very wide European distribution. I 
found the ordinary Jdeus just as plentiful about Spa and along the 
Rhine fo it is in the south-west of Surrey or in the English lake 
district. I have a German specimen from Bamberg, cee by 
Koohler, given me by Dr. Focke, which entirely agree 
English Leesii, and another (var. sterilis Koehler) ek is inter- 
mediate between this and the type. There has been “Ghronicle®
