Rubus sp. ? Coxley Valley, near Dewsbury, S. W. Yorks., 

 1890. — P. F. Lee. Might perhaps go under R. Lejeimei, W. and 

 N.— W. M-. R. 



R. hirlus, W. and N. Anglesey. — J. E. Griffith, August, 1890. 

 R. pallidus, Bab. {noTt W. and N.) I believe; or what I am not 

 able to distinguish from this — R. saxicohis, P. J. Miill. — W. M. R. 



Rubus sp. ? Pepper Alley, High Beech, Essex, 25th August, 

 1890. — J. T. Powell. An interesting form of the hirtus group. 

 I think R. velatus, Lej., or very near it. — W. M. R. 



Rubus sp. ? Margin of Wood, Long Itchington, Warw., July, 

 1890. — P. F. Lee. Perhaps a strongly armed thick-leaved form 

 of R. Balfourianus, Blox., but sp. too young for positive deter- 

 mination.— W. M. R. 



Rubus sp. Hedge, Long Itchington, Warw., July, i8go. — 

 I suspect R. corylifolius, var. conjungens, Bab., in spite of the 

 stellate hairs on barren stem. Vid. Brit. Rub., p. 266. — W. M. R. 



R. scabrosus, P. J. Miill. Near Shirley, S. Derbyshire, 14th 

 October, i88q, W. R. Linton. I do not understand R. scabrosus, 

 P. J. Miill, but the specimens Prof. Babington has so named for 

 me are very different from this plant, which I think I should 

 have put under coiylifolius, Sm. — W. M. R. - 



Rubus sp. Wood near Claughton, Cheshire, 20th September, 

 1886. — A. E. Lomax. I cannot name this ; it seems tome some- 

 what between cojylifolius and coesius^ but nearer the latter. Can 

 it be a dumetorum form } — W. M. R. 



it. h'ge?inus, Genev. Ballidon, near Shirley, S. Derby, 20th 

 August, 1889.— W. R. Linton. fid. Prof. Babington." 



R. rusticanus X coesius } Gt. Orme's Head, Caernarvon. — 

 J. Lloyd Williams, 1890. Mr. Lloyd Williams has no doubt 

 good grounds for considering most of these specimens hybrids 

 between coesius 2iYiA rusticans. Some, however, appear to be 

 purely coesius. The question of hybridity in the Rubi\?> peculiarly 

 difficult of settlement from dried specimens only. — W. M. R.
