the correct name for the tree sometimes named U. hollandica 
Miller. — A. Henry. Yes; the U. major of Sm., which is now 
assumed to be U. glabra Miller x nitens Moench. — A.B.J. 
U. glabra x nitens. [551]. Glebe Pasture, St. Ippolyts, 
Herts., v.c. 20, May 17, and Aug. 19, 1923. Leaves elongate, 
oval, very asymetrical, about 5 inches long and 2^ wide, acute- 
acuminate. Petiole 5 — 10 mm, still pubescent in August. Buds 
acute, hairy. Upper pagina shining, but scabrous. Lower 
pagina shortly hairy. Twigs of 1923 glabrescent. Twigs of 
1922 striate, dark brown, hardly shining. Nerves 14— 1G pairs. 
This form is not U. hollandica , nor is it quite U. vegeta. — J. E. 
Little. Ulmus glabra x nitens. — A. Id. Yes ; U. vegeta Lindley, 
the Huntingdon Elm, judging from the foliage. It is considered 
to be a hybrid of the same parentage as U. major. — A.B.J. 
U. nitens Moench. [553] S. Gosmore, Hitchin, Herts., May 9, 
June 4, Sept. 15, 1923. — J. E. Little. Ulmus nitens Moench. — 
A.H. Yes, fairly typical U. nitens. — A.B.J. 
Quercus pedunculata Ehrh. x sessilifolia Salisb. Darenth, Kent, 
v.c. 16, Sept. 1923.— St. J. Marriott. Yes. Stellate hairs 
abundant on leaves. Common peduncles in this case long. — 
J. E. Little. Apparently correct. — A.B.J. 
Fagus sylvatica L. Seedlings. (1) Winscombe, Somerset, 
March 30, 1923. ( 2 ) With first pair of true leaves, Glen Frome, 
Bristol, v.c. 34, May 19, 1923. Abundant everywhere this year.

Salix pentandra L. $ [555]. West Mill, Hitchin, Herts., 
May 31 and Oct. 15, 1923. A large bush about 15 feet high, 
with several smaller ones, in a peaty reed-swamp on the left 
bank of the River Oughton. S. pentandra is not reckoned native 
in Herts. How this bush was introduced I have not been able 
to ascertain. — J. E Little. Quite correct. So far this specimen 
confirms my finding that the male plant has broader leaves than 
the female. — J. Fraser. Typical S. pentandra. — W. H. Pearsall. 
S. triandra L. (male and fertile flowers). Darenth, Kent, v.c. 
16, April 1923.— St. J. Marriott. My sheet represents a good 
shoot of the male S. triandra , but leaves in September would 
have made the sheet more interesting and complete. There are 
at least five forms of S. triandra, exclusive of hybrids. J.F. 
$ stem triandra, 2 stem fragilis. — W.H.P., J.E.L., J.F. 
S. fragilis x pentandra l [556J. West Mill, Hitchin, Herts., 
May 31 and Oct. 15, 1923. Of 60 flowers examined, 9 had 2
