with  specimens  of  J.  rigidus  in  the  Rouy  Herbarium  at 
Paris  when  an  opportunity  offers  ;  and  until  that  can  be 
done  the  name  atlanticus  should  be  regarded  as  pro¬ 
visional.  Examples  in  some  degree  approaching  the 
Scillonian  form  have  been  lately  forwarded  to  me  from 
Poole  Harbour,  Dorset,  by  Mrs.  E.  P.  Sandwith.  The 
following  brief  description  .may  suffice  to  define  this 
variety : — Culmo  subtenue,  elato,  ad  10-15  dcm.  producto. 
Anthela  magna  (2f-4  dcm.  longa)  diffusa,  abunde  de- 
composita,  bracteam  floralem  inferiam  multo  super  ante . 
Crntera  ut  typi. — Jas.  W.  White. 
Sparganium.  [neglectum  Beeby] .  By  the  Dane  stream, 
Milford-on-Sea,  S.  Hants.,  v.c.  11,  Aug.  1914. — J.  Comber. 
Fruit  too  young  for  certainty ;  very  small  and  crowded. 
From  its  shape,  I  rather  suspect  that  it  may  be  S.  erectum , 
var.  microcarpum. — E.S.M.  Not  S.  neglectum  Beeby.  I 
judge  from  the  crowded  fruits,  and  from  the  fact  that 
the  unripe  fruits  show  signs  of  contracting  abruptly  into 
the  beak,  that  this  plant  is  S.  ramosum  Curt.  (S.  erectum 
L.),  var.  microcarpum  Neum.  The  fruits  of  S.  neglectum 
Beeby  are  less  numerous  and  not  so  densely  packed.  See 
an  interesting  note  by  W.  H.  Beeby  in  Kept.  B.E.C.  1888, 
p.  284.— E.F.L. 
Alisma  lanceolatum  With.  Burwell  Lode,  Cambs., 
v.c.  29,  Sept.  8,  1914.— A.  J.  Crosfield. 
Scheuchzeria  palustris  L.  (Ref.  No.  8941).  Locally 
plentiful  in  two  bogs,  close  to  Rannoch  Station,  Mid 
Perth,  v.c.  88,  July  17  &  28,  1914.  In  one  of  the  localities 
only  barren  plants  were  seen.  This  is  some  miles  from 
where  Mr.  A.  H.  Evans  found  it.  The  plant  is  likely  to 
be  frequent  in  this  district ;  only  a  very  small  area  was 
explored _ E.  S.  Marshall. 
Potamogeton  [ pusillus  L.] .  Drain  between  River  Nar 
and  Shouldham  Warren,  W.  Norfolk,  v.c.  28,  June  25, 
1914. — J.  E.  Little.  The  fruit  is  hardly  well-formed 
enough  to  he  quite  certain,  but  I  think  this  is  P. 
trichoides  Cham.,  var.  Trimmeri  Casp. — A.B. 
P.  pectinatus  L.  (1)  Foulness,  E.  Essex,  v.c.  18, 
June,  1914. — W.  R.  Sherrin.  This  is  P.  pectinatus  L., 
var.  pseudo -marinus  Ar.  Benn.  =  var.  salina  Voch  and
