Scully respecting this station, and the consensus of opinion seems 

 to be " that it may be accepted." However, after what has 

 occurred it will be well if the station is verified by some indepen- 

 dent botanist. 8ince the above was written Mr. Levinge has 

 seen the plant in situ. — A. B. 



Zannichellia hrachystemon, Gay. Brackish ditch, Welton, Yorks., 

 E., June, 1891. — C. Waterfall. Not good enough to name such 

 a critical species as this. — A. B. 



Scirpus parvulus, R. and S. Littlesea, Studland, Dorset, Sept., 

 1887. — F. H. Ward. This has an earlier name, 8, nanus, Spreng. 

 (Pug. 1, 4, 1813. This name had been previously used by 

 Poiteau (Ency., 6, 759, 1804, teste Jackson, J. of Bot., 1887, p. 

 335), but that is now sunk in Fimhristylis argentea, Yahl. Ac- 

 cording to some American botanists this name will be invalidated 

 because it has been used by Poiteau under the genus before. 

 Will the general botanist be tied by such rules, if so, does he 

 appreciate the work entailed thereby ? Whilst of little if any 

 use in advancing the science they must disgust many by their 

 inconsistency. — A. B.

 W. T. Cross. May be, but specimens are very poor. It occurs 

 in great abundance and fine at Eanworth. — A. B.
