REPORT FOR 1913.

looks like a small E. uniglumis, but whether the var. Watso7ii (Bab.) 

 or no can only be guessed." — E. S. Marshall. " Babington described 

 Watsoni as a species {A7m. Nat. Hist. Ser. 2, x., 20, 1852, and 

 Manual, ed. 4, 359, 1856), but in the ed. 6, 371, 1867, he says 

 ' probably a form of No. 2 [i.e. E. uniglumis).' It was not noticed in 

 the Lo7id. Cat. of 1856. I hardly see how Mr Lumb's specimens can 

 be so named, as the bristles distinctly exceed the nut, and Babing- 

 ton says ' nut .... exceeding the bristles ' ; moreover, the 

 nuts are no more punctate-striate, and they are said to be moi-e so in 

 the description I think Mr Lumb's specimens may be a var. similar 

 to the var. arenaria Sonder (of palustris) Fl. Hamburg., 22, 1851, 

 but they are not complete specimens." — A. Bennett. 



Scirpus maritimus L., var. monostachys Sonder. Salt marshes 

 near Keyhaven, S. Hants, Aug. 1913. — J. Comber. "Yes." — G. C. 

 Druce. 



Scirpus americanus Pers. ( S. pungens Vahl. J. St Ouen's Pond, 

 Jersey, 1913. — A. Webster. 



Scirpus paucijior us JAghti., \3uY. '? Freshfield, S. Lanes, v.-c. 



59, July 1913. This small form, which is common in bare damp 

 hollows in the dunes, is perhaps the var. campester Asch. and Graeb. 

 — W. G. Travis. " Yes, no doubt what is meant by the variety 

 campester Asch. and Graeb. Syn. Mitt. eur. ii., 2, p. 296 (1906) ^ 

 Heleocharis pauciflora Link, var. minor Sonder Fl. Hamburg., 23, 

 (1851). I have a specimen from a similar habitat at Wallasey, 

 Cheshire, and have also seen the same dwarf plant from the same 

 habitat in other parts of England, so it is evidently a form of damp 

 sand hollows." — Ed. 



Scirpus filiformis Savi, var. monostachys C. and M. " Slacks " in 

 sandhills, Freshfield, S. Lanes., v.-c. 59, Oct. 1913.— W. G. Travis.

Scirpus Jluitans L. From shallow peaty ponds, near Roose, N. 

 Lanes., v.-c. 69 b., Sept. 21, 1913. Poor specimens from the only

Rhynchospora alba Yahl. Deer Dyke Moss, v.-c. 69 b., July 25, 

 1913. Frequent on peat bogs in N. Lanes., but possibly less so 

 elsewhere. — W. H. Pearsall. 



Schaenus ferrugineus L. N.W. shore of Loch Tummel, v.-c. 88, 

 July 19, 1913.— W. A. Shoolbred.
