think that it is R. tuherculatus^ Bab. which is almost certainly 

 R, scabrosus, Miill. Mr. Gray should have gathered more 

 specimens of a doubtful plant like this. We should also be 

 glad of some information about the colours and proportions of 

 the floral organs. The specimen is curious. — C. C. Babington. 



R. Bloxamii, Lees. Near Groeston Station, Carnarvonshire,

R. dwersi/oHus, Lindl. Near Bryn Glas, Beaumaris, September, 

 1889. Confirmed by Dr. W. O. Focke.— J. E. Griffith. 



R. macrothyrsos, J. Lange. Flor. Dan. tab. 2832 a species 

 intermediate between R. vestitus and R. Lejeunii. Near Bangor,

R. fissus, Lindl. Shirley, S. Derbyshire, July 2nd, 1889. — 

 W. R. Linton. 



R, carpini/olius, W. and N. Bradley, S. Derbyshire, August, 

 1889. Agrees with a plant from Shirley which was so named by 

 Dr. Focke. — W. R. Linton. Does not accord with my idea of 

 R. carpinifolius . Almost exactly the same as a plant gathered 

 by Dr. De Crespigny at Hayes Common in Kent. Is it not the 

 plant named R. Munteri correct " from Bradley and R, 

 Munteri formd valde aculeatdP 



R, pubescens, W. and N. fide Dr. Focke. Geldersley, S. 

 Derbyshire, August 13th, 1888. This very pronounced and 

 definite plant was so named by Dr. Focke. But the Rev. W. H. 

 Painter who has inspected it growing has raised the question 

 whether it really is identical with the plant formerly called 

 ihyrsoideus in England and more recently pubescens. The plant 

 as it occurrs commonly in this neighbourhood is, if it be not 

 pubescens, altogether distinct from any other of the same group, 

 and possibly may turn out something new. — Wm. R. Linton. 

 I am glad to see this pubescens named by Focke. I need not

 erroneously. — C. C. Babington. 



R. macrocanthus, Blox. Stydd, S. Derbyshire, August, 1889. 

 A plant placed by Professor Babington under ihyrsoideus but 

 appearing to me to be nearer to rusiicanus. The credit of its 

 discovery for S. Derbyshire and of its identification belongs to 

 my brother, E. F. Linton. Plentiful at Stydd, and elsewhere in 

 S. Derbyshire. — Wm. R. Linton. I should call this a form of
