mentioned.  These  specimens  differ  from  those  from  the 
Dove  in  Derbyshire,  in  that  these  are  mostly  upright  and 
rooting  from  the  two  or  three  lower  nodes  only,  while  the 
Derbyshire  ones  are  more  recumbent  and  root  at  least 
three-fourths  of  the  length  of  the  stem.— C.  B.  Headly. 
M.  Langsdorfii,  Donn. — E.S.M. 
M.  luteus ,  L.,  var.  guttatus,  DC.  Same  locality  as 
the  above,  but  the  area  more  restricted. — C.  B.  Headly. 
Closely  approaches  var.  guttatus  ;  but  the  chocolate 
blotches  do  not  appear  to  be  heavy  enough  for  the  variety. 
W.B.  I  do  not  think  that  De  Candolle  described  it  as 
a  species;  he  does  not  so  treat  it  in  his  “  Prodromus.” 
M.  Langsdorfii ,  Donn.,  form  (or  var.)  guttatus.  It  only 
differs  from  type  in  the  colour  of  the  flowers.— E.S.M. 
M.  Langsdorfii,  Donn.,  var.  guttatus,  DC.  Abun¬ 
dantly  naturalised  along  the  Conglass  Water,  near 
Tomintoul,  Banff,  v.c.  94,  July  15,  1905.  I  think  this  is 
var.  guttatus,  DC.  I  have  only  seen  it  here  and  at  Reay, 
Caithness. — E.  S.  Marshall. 
Euphrasia  - .  Ingarsby,  Leics.,  v.c.  55,  Aug., 
1905.  A.  R.  Horwood.  I  think  this  is  an  unusually 
“strict”  form  of  E.  curta,  var.  glabrescens.—  -E.S.M.  Mr. 
C.  Bucknall,  who  saw  three  sheets,  reports :  “  This  is 
very  puzzling.  Most  of  the  specimens  have  bracts  with 
acute  awned  teeth  and  calyx  teeth  exceeding  the  capsule 
and  must,  I  think,  go  to  E.  stricta,  Host,  but  others  with 
broader,  less  acute  teeth,  capsule  equalling  the  calyx  and 
simple  stems  look  very  much  like  E.  borealis,  Towns.  At 
the  same  time,  some  with  simple  stems  have  acute  teeth 
and  short  capsules.” 
E.  stricta,  Host.  South  Croxton,  Leics.,  v.c.  55,  Aug., 
1905. — A.  R.  Horwood.  I  should  say  decidedly  E.  curta, 
var.  glabrescens,  not  E.  stricta. — E.S.M.  Yes,  E.  stricta. 
— C.B.  See  B.  E.  C.  Rept.,  1905,  p.  40. 
-S'* - - •  Near  Cymmer  Abbey,  Dolgelley,  Merion- 
ethsh.,  v.c.  48,  Aug.  30,  1905. — W.  A.  Vice.  E.  curta,  var. 
glabrescens,  I  believe. — E.S.M.  No.  3,  E.  stricta,  Host, 
but  one  piece  looks  more  like  E.  nemorosa,  but  is  damaged.
