Some specimens shaded off to vesicaria ; others approached riparia. 

 It is evidently a rare hybrid. — G. C. Druce. 



Carex strigosa Yixxdii. Penn Wood, Bucks, June 1904. — G. C. 

 Druce. 



Garex capillaris L. On the Sugar-loaf Limestone of Cronkley Fell, 

 v.-c. 65, altitude 2000 feet, June 9, 1914. Growing in close association 

 with Thalictrum alpiruim L., Helianthemum canum Baumg., var. vineaie 

 (Pers.) and Viola Riviniana Reichb., forma mifior Murb. — -J. Cryer. 



Carex binervis Sm. Near the Duddon Estuary, 1912. Coll.

Carex distans L. (Non C. distans v. maritima auct. = C . neglecta 

 Degl.). Wet meadows in Parish of Tredington, Worcestershire (an 

 inland station), July 1903. See Report 1903, p. 28.— Coll. F. 

 Townsend ; comm. G. C. Druce. 



Carex fulva Host. [Ref. No. 641.] Chippenham Fen, Cambridge, 

 v.-c. 29, June 14, 1914.— G. C. Brown.

 attempt to displace C. Oederi Retz., and use it for a form of C.Jtava 

 caused much confusion among British botanists, the effects of which

 especially fond of the gravelly margins of pools and lochs, but in our 

 calcareous fen areas this robust plant occurs. — G. C. Druce. 



Carex polyyama Schkulir {C. Buxbaumii Wahl.). Arisaig, 

 Westerness, July 1 903. Yery local. The only known locality,

 Neagh, where I vainly sought for it on two occasions in 1903. — 

 G. C. Druce. 



Carex salina Wahl. Wick, Caithness, July 1907. — G. C. Druce. 



Carex gracilis Curt. [Ref. No. 640J. Chippenham Fen, Cambridge, 

 v.-c. 29, June 14, 1914. One large tuft — specimen rather gone over, 

 but characteristic. — G. C. Brown. " A slender form. I did not see 

 this on the Fen when with the late Mr Fryer, but we saw good 

 C. stricta Good. C. gracilis is a local species in Cambridgeshire." — 

 A. Bennett. "Yes." — E. S. Marshall. "My specimen is an im-
