The  leaf  hairs,  at  first  in  February  almost  entirely  simple, 
seemed  afterwards  in  the  later  stages  to  be  more  often 
bifid.  Mr.  Salmon  places  it  under  E.  hirtella  Jord. — 
J.  E.  Little.  I  cannot  name  this  definitely. — E.S.M. 
E.  - .  (Ref.  No.  84).  Meadow  below  Walsworth, 
Hitchin,  Herts.,  v.c.  20,  April  19,  1915.  A  single  small 
patch  of  plants  with  predominantly  simple  hairs,  at  least 
in  the  early  stage,  surrounded  by  numerous  other  patches 
in  which  forked  hairs  predominate.  In  the  form  of  the 
silicules  this  patch  does  not  differ  from  the  others  which 
seem  to  belong  to  E.  brachycarpa  Jord.  —  J.  E.  Little.  I 
think  E.  prcecox  DC.  (=  E.  brachycarpa  Jord.),  and  not 
virescens  Jord. — E.S.M.  Coming  under  glabrescens,  I 
believe — perhaps  virescens  Jord.;  the  predominance  of 
simple  hairs  seems  to  rule  out  brachycarpa. — C.E.S. 
E. - .  (Ref.  No.  55  A.).  Gravel  Pit,  St.  Ippolyts, 
Herts.,  v.c.  20,  April  13,  1915.  A  further  gathering  of  the 
plant  sent  under  same  reference  number  to  the  Wats.  B.E.C. 
in  1913 — 14  (Rept.  p.  432).  It  persists  in,  and  is  limited  to, 
a  small  patch  of  about  a  square  yard.  I  suppose  one  may 
place  it  as  Draba  verna  L.,  subsp.  glabrescens  Rouy  & 
Fouc. — J.  E.  Little.  I  do  not  know  this. — E.S.M.  I 
presume  under  glabrescens  Rouy  &  Fouc.— C.E.S. 
E.  prcecox  DC.  SeaWall,  Burnham'-on-Crouch,  Essex, 
v.c.  18,  May  1915.  W.  R.  Sherrin.  Plant  hairy,  with  a 
considerable  proportion  of  trifid  hairs.  Silicules  obovate, 
narrowed  below — or  elliptic,  a  few  more  truly  ovate, 
3mm.  long  x  2mm.  broad.  One  of  those  intermediates 
which  it  is  difficult  to  place,  lying  apparently  between 
Draba  vulgaris  Rouy  &  Fouc.  and  D.  prcecox  Stev.,  nearest 
the  latter,  though  not  characteristic. — J.E.L.  Three  of  my 
specimens  are  E.  prcecox  DC. ;  the  other  two  may  come 
under  that,  but  have  longer  capsules. — E.S.M. 
Cochleai'ia  - .  Burnham-on-Crouch,  Essex,  v.c. 
18,  May  1915. — W.  R.  Sherrin.  Very  dwarf  C.  anglica  L. 
No  fruit  is  present;  but  I  suspect  that  it  would  prove  to 
be  var.  stenocarpa  Meyer  (=  Hortii  Syme). — E.S.M. 
Brassica  Erucastrum  Vill.  Newmarket  Heath,  Cambs., 
v.c.  29,  Aug.  9,  1915.— A.  J.  Crosfield.  Yes,  =  Erucastrum
