Groves).  Frensham  Little  Pond,  Surrey,  v.c.  17,  Sept. 
1915. — J.  Comber.  The  var.  subinermis  is  a  weak  unstable 
form.  In  the  present  specimens  some  of  the  stems  have 
the  spine-cells  shorter  than  the  diameter  of  the  stem, 
while  others  produce  them  of  normal  length. —  J.G. 
G.  polyacantha  Braun.  Walton  Moor,  N.  Somerset, 
v.c.  6,  Sept.  10,  1903. — J.  W.  White.  A  small  weak  form

{See  B.E.C.  Kept.,  1904,  p.  40).— J.G. 
C.  hispida  L.  (Ref.  No.  4154).  Small  pool  on  the 
coast,  east  of  Reay,  Caithness,  v.c.  109,  July  24,  1915. 
Named  by  Mr.  James  Groves.  I  had  not  seen  this  before 
in  N.  Scotland. — Edward  S.  Marshall. 
C.  hispida  L.,  var.  ?  Ken  Moor,  N.  Somerset,  v.c.  6, 
Sept.  14,  1904.— J.  W.  White.  C.  hispida ,  a  small  form, 
not  sufficiently  well-marked  to  separate  as  a  variety. — J.G. 
C.  vulgaris  L.  (1)  Still  water  form,  Crown  Hill, 
Leics.,  v.c.  55,  Sept.  1905.  (2)  Running  water  form, 
Scraptoft,  Leics.,  v.c.  55,  June  3,  1905.  Mr.  J.  Groves  calls 
the  Crown  Hill  plant  a  long-bracted  form.  I  thought  that 
an  example  to  show  the  great  difference  in  form  and  habit 
of  the  plant  wffien  growing  in  still  and  running  water 
would  be  of  interest. — A.  R.  Horwood.  (3)  (Ref.  No. 
4153).  Growing  in  a  fountain  at  Thurso  Castle,  Caithness, 
v.c.  109,  in  several  feet  of  clear  water,  August  3,  1915. 
Bright  green,  elongated,  doubtless  owing  to  the  depth. 
Mr.  J.  Groves  writes: — “  C.  vulgaris — an  extremely  pretty 
form.  I  do  not  know  any  precise  varietal  name  to  fit  to 
it ;  but  the  species  is  endlessly  variable.” — Edward  S. 
Marshall.
