The Rev. W. Moyle Rogers has for so many years given us 
the benefit of his unique knowledge of the Rubi, in furnishing us 
with criticisms on the specimens sent in, that members will hear 
with the deepest regret that on account of increasing infirmity he 
has at last felt compelled to resign his position of referee. We 
are happy to say that the Rev. H. J. Riddelsdell, who has lately 
assisted Mr. Rogers, has kindly promised to examine and — where 
necessary — criticise all specimens of that difficult genus. 
We have to record with very sincere regret the loss by death 
of our member Mr. E. W. Hunnybun, which took place at Vent- 
nor on the 3rd of July. In his great work of illustrating the 
“ Cambridge British Flora ” be became known to a large circle of 
botanists, either personally or as a frequent correspondent on the 
plants they undertook to send him for his work. Though ap- 
proaching 70, he had during recent years worked so assiduously 
that we believe he had almost completed the drawings. ( See 
“Journal of Botany,” Aug. 1918).

Ranunculus fluitans Lam., var. cambricus (Ar. Benn.). Coron 
Lake, Anglesey, v.c. 52, July 4, 1917. — J. E. Griffith. This 
curious plant has always been a puzzle, and it would be of great 
interest to ascertain if its peculiarities are due to ecological 
factors by cultivating it under different conditions, especially in 
running water. If the Batrachian Ranunculi could be grown ou
