think it desirable to distribute the specimens in this cover, as 

 they were collected too late in the season for certain de- 

 termination. The stem pieces all seem wrong for leucostachys, 

 and even the panicles somewhat doubtful. — W.M.R. None 

 distributed, all returned to H.S.T. 



R. nmcronatus, Blox. var. niidicaulis (Rogers), (see Hand" 

 book of British Rubi, p. 56). West Clifif, Bournemouth, 

 Hants., 20/8/00.— J. T. Powell. Yes.— W.M.R. 



R. cinerosus, Rogers? (1) Ref. No. 474a. Road side, 

 Aughnadarragh, Saintfield, Co. Down, July 14, 1897. (2) 

 Ref. No. 106. Open wood, Rowallane, Saintfield, Co. Down, 

 Aug. 14, 1900. (3) Ref. No. 105. Same loc. as 474a, Aug. 

 9, 1894.— C. H. Waddell. I think all these sheets, 474a, 106, 

 and 105, go best under i?. mucronatics, Blox., though more hairy, 

 less glandular and often with thicker foliage than in the type ; 

 and so slightly going off from R. nuLcronatus towcirds R. pyramid- 

 alis, Kalt. I should not put any of them to my R. cinerosiis. — 

 W.M.R. 



R. vaduloides, Rogers. (1) Quarries, Hanham, West 

 Gloucestershire, Aug. 20, 1898. (2) Fox's Woods, Brislington, 

 N. Somerset, July 9, 1896.— J. W. White. Yes.— W.M.R. 



R. Drejeri, Jensen, var. hihevnicus, Rogers. No. 482. 

 Strong form. Open place, vSaintfield Vicarage, Co. Down, 

 Aug. 25, 1900. — C. H. Waddell. These specimens look to me 

 more like Leyamis than hibermcus, but in this condition they can 

 hardly be said to represent either form at all satisfactorily. — 

 W.M.R. 



R. Dvcjeri, sub-sp. hibernicns, Rogers. (1) Ref. No. 10* 

 Aghaderg Glebe, P. of Aghaderg, Co. Down, Aug. 11, 1900- 

 (2) Ref. No. 15. Lisnagade, P. of Aghaderg, Co. Down, 

 Aug. 13, 1900.— H. W. Lett. Not exactly my sub-sp. 

 hibernicus, as described in Handbook, p. 62, but rather one of 

 the several allied forms sent to the Club in recent years by 

 Canon Lett. (cf. the first note on. p. 11 of Report for 

 1898-1899). As represented in dried specimens only, these 

 forms show an extraordinary range of variation, suggesting the 

 need of most careful differentiation in the field. — W.M.R. 



R. Drejeri, Jensen, var. hiberniais, Rogers, No. 482b. (1) 

 Killaney, Saintfield, Co. Down, Aug. 12, 1893. (2) Wood, 

 Saintlield, Co. Down, Aug. 5, 1895. (3) Weak shade form, 

 Woods, Saintfield, Co. Down, June, 1896.— C. H. Waddell. 

 These specimens are no doubt rightly named, but they are too 

 imperfect to be very characteristic R. liihernicus . —\N . M. R.
