Mr Wheldon's specimens have ripe fruit, but are collected too late to 

 make good herbarium sheets." — J. Groves. 



C har a vulgaris Jj. Lizard, W. Cornwall, v.-c. 1, June 1913. I 

 send these at the suggestion of Mr Jas. Groves, who remarks that 

 they are beautiful specimens, being free from the usual incrustation. 

 — C. C. ViGURS. " Yes, forma papillata microptila et hr achy teles. It 

 is a pleasure to examine specimens of C. vulgaris like these without the 

 lime incrustation by which it is almost always disfigured." — J. Groves.

 Add the following note : — " As some doubt existed as to the correct 

 identification of the specimens of ' Euphrasia curta Wettst., var. 

 glahrescens Wettst.,' collected by me at The Bout, Yeness, Orphir, 

 Mainland, Orkney, on July 19 1912 (see p. 272), and ^Euphrasia 

 curta Wettst.,' at the Black Crag, Stromness, Mainland, Orkney, on 

 August 19, 1912 (see p. 273), I recently submitted all my specimens 

 from these two stations to the Rev. E. S. Marshall, who, after careful 

 examination, is now of opinion that they all come under Euphrasia 

 borealis Townsend, some of the specimens from each station belonging 

 to the type of the species, while the remainder appear to be the var. 

 pubescens Townsend, in sched. (Wettstein Mo7iograph, p. 109). With 

 reference to the var. pubescens Townsend, the Rev. E. S. Marshall 

 remarks that he has not seen specimens of this variety, which the late 

 Mr Townsend did not mention in his Monograph of the British Species 

 of Euphrasia {Journ. Bot., 1897), Townsend's own description of his 

 species E. borealis, apparently covering his var. pubescens, in sched. 

 (Wettstein Monograph p. 109). — H. H. Johnston. 



Page 272. E. gracilis Fr., line 5 from bottom, for " Pegap " read 

 "Pegal." 



Page 294. Phalaris minor Retz. [Ref. Nos. 30 and 30 (a).] To 

 clear up any possible confusion in the naming of these forms, specimens 

 were again submitted to Prof. Hackel, who replied — " Phalaris minor 

 Retz., in different states of nutrition: (1) type; (2) a starved state, 

 no variety ; (3) an intermediate state." Accordingly, all labelled Ref. 

 Nos. 30 or 30 (a) will go under type, and the starved state is pre- 

 sumably forma gracilis Pari. Fl. Ital. i., 70 (1848). — W. C. Barton.
