E.  stricta ,  Host  ?  Near  Rhaiadr  Mawddach,  Merion- 
ethsh.,  y.c.  48,  Sept.  1,  1905. — W.  A.  Vice.  Four  specimens 
on  my  sheet.  One  is,  I  believe,  E.  stricta ,  the  others 
appear  to  me  identical  with  Cardiganshire  plants  of  mine 
which  Prof.  Wettstein  named  E.  curta ,  var.  glabrescens. 
I  believe  that  this  is  correct ;  but  the  line  between  that 
and  E.  nemorosa  is  sometimes  difficult  to  draw. — E.S.M. 
No.  5,  E.  nemorosa,  H.  Mart.- — C.R. 
E.  curta,  Fr.,  var.  glabrescens,  Wettst.  (1)  Precipice 
Walk,  Dolgelley,  Merionethsh.,  v.c.  48,  Aug.  31,  1905. — 
W.  A.  Vice.  Small;  but  quite  characteristic. — E.S.M. 
No.  6.  Correct. — C.B.  (2)  Marshy  ground,  lower  slopes 
of  Cader  Idris,  Merionethsh.,  v.c.  48,  Sept.  2,  1905. — 
W.  A.  Vice.  Four  small  plants  are  the  usual  heath  form 
of  E.  curta,  var.  glabrescens ;  two  others  I  am  inclined  to 
think  are  the  same,  but  a  larger  form  with  strongly 
aristate  upper  leaves  and  bracts. — E.  S.  M.  No.  7. 
E.  Scotica,  Wettst. — C.B. 
E.  Salisburgensis,  Funk.  On  carboniferous  limestone 
pastures,  Castle  Hewson,  near  Askeaton,  Co.  Limerick, 
Aug.  11,  1905. — C.  H.  Waddell.  None  of  the  plants  before 
me  are  at  all  like  E.  Salisburgensis.  The  bulk  of  the  sheet 
is  E.  curta,  var.  glabrescens ;  two  decidedly  glandular 
specimens  are  a  form  of  E.  brevipila,  and  the  remaining 
one — which  has  a  few  glands  on  the  bracts,  but  the 
general  habit  of  the  other — I  suspect  to  be  a  hybrid 
between  them.--E.S.M.  Certainly  not  E.  Salisburgensis — 
the  form  of  the  leaves  is  different,  and  the  teeth  too  close 
and  too  numerous,  the  capsule  also  being  hairy.  Some  of 
the  specimens  are  glandular  and  others  eglandular,  but  in 
other  respects  there  seems  to  be  no  difference  between 
them.  I  think  they  must  go  to  E.  brevipila,  B.  &  G., 
although  they  look  so  different  from  ordinary  forms  of 
that  species.  I  have  the  same  form  from  Roundstone, 
Connemara.— -C.B. 
E.  gracilis,  Fr.  Moor  above  Pateley  Bridge,  M.  W. 
Yorks.,  v.c.  64,  Aug.  31,  1905.— S.  H.  Bickham.  Yes.— C.B. 
E.  - .  Amongst  grass,  lower  slopes  of  Cader 
Idris,  Merionethsh.,  v.c.  48,  Sept.  2,  1905. — W.  A.  Vice. 
On  the  sheet  sent  to  me  I  find  a  regular  mixture : — 
(1)  E.  JRostkoviana  ;  (2)  E.  brevipila  ;  (3)  E.  curta,  var.
