oval, glaucous perigynium, the very short beak, and by the 
woolly hairs on the root fibres, where they have been washed 
clean. — J. Fraser. 
Carex strigosa Huds. Damp wayside between Cleeve and 
Yatton, North Somerset, June 9, 1929. — J. W. White. 
Carex CEderi Retz. var. cedocarpa Anderss. Ashcott peat- 
moor, near N. end of Durston’s drove, Somerset, July 20, 
1929. Abundant and variable.— -H. S. Thompson. Correct. 
The plant is taller than C. CEderi usually is, with a curved 
stem and more scattered spikes, the male being stalked. 
The fruit also has a longer beak.— J. Fraser. 
Alopecurus myosuroides Huds. Fruits. Purwell Field, 
Hitchin, Herts., Aug. 4, 1928. — J. E. Little. 
Agrostis setacea Curt. Set worthy Beacon, W. Somerset, 
July 8, 1929. — E. C. Wallace. 
Agrosiis tenuis Sibth. [A. 74]. In very wet copse in midst 
of Holmsley Bog, New Forest, Hants., Aug. 11, 1929. I can 
only suggest that this is a pale, tall, lax form of Agrostis 
tenuis, though the general appearance and habitat seem strange 
— J. E. Lousley. I agree. The specimens are very slender 
and attentuated owing to their being in shade. The ligule 
is short and truncate. The barren glumes are nearly equal, 
and one of them is setulose on the upper half of the keel. 
The rachis of the inflorescence is very finely and thinly 
hispid. — J. Fraser. Yes, evidently a weak form. — W. O. 
Howarth. I think a shade form of this. — H. W. Puglsey. 
Agrostis sp. Field and roadside, Freshwater Bay, I. of 
Wight, VII, 1927 and VIII, 1929. Sent to elicit opinions. 
A commoner plant hereabouts than ordinary A. alba, from 
which it differs in often having a larger panicle, always 
brownish-purple, never whitish, the main branches remaining 
spreading, though the secondary often close up at maturity. 
It does not quite agree with A. nigra, With., as described by 
Bagnall (Journ. Bot. XX. p. 65, 1882), though much like his 
illustration. Of a similar plant collected here Mr. Sherrin 
has suggested that it comes near A. alba v. gigantea, f. sil- 
vatica, but our plant is not a shade form. J. Groves. I 
fail to separate this from Agrostis alba Linn. var. stolonifera 
(Linn). The large, much branched panicle is right, with 
pale violaceous barren glumes, that are nearly equal, with 
a setulose keel. The flowering glume is twice as long as its 
pale, and is furnished with a short, colourless awn under its
