to see more rugosity of the leaves, more dense reticulation 
beneath, and more pubescence even in September, whether grey 
or ferruginous.— J. Fraser. 
IS. aurita x cinerea $ . [613.] Near Ash Brook Cottages, 
Uitchin, Herts., March 6 and Sept. 11, 1921; April 7, 1925. — 
J. E. Little. Agreed. — E. F. Linton. I agree to this. The 
shape of the leaves and the moderate rugosity, as well as the 
bracts of the catkins, show the influence of S. cinerea-, but the 
short, obovate character of many of the leaves, their considerable 
pubescence in September, and the short ovoid flower heads indicate 
iS. aurita. — The hybrid is extremely variable. — J. Fraser. 
S. aurita [x cinerea ]. By R. Mole, Box Hill, Surrey, v.c. 17, 
April 12, 1924, and May 30, 1925. — E. C. Wallace and D. G. 
Catcheside. The shape of the leaves, their scanty pubescence 
and the obovate black bracts of the catkins all point to S. cinerea. 
It is a form which would be nearly glabrous if the leaves had 
been collected in August or September. The catkins are small 
and the twigs slender, but S. cinerea can be like that when under 
unfavourable conditions. — J. Fraser. 
S. caprea x [cinerea Wimmer ( = S. lidchardti A. Kern.)] By 
stream, Lower Failand, N. Somerset, March 17 and July 9, 
1925. — Ida M. Roper. Judged by the foliage this comes nearest 
S. caprea. The usual wavy crenatures, however, have mostly 
been replaced by shallow serratures or crenatures. The quickly 
glabrescent buds of this leafy shoot suggest S. aurita. The small 
size of the catkins, the small ovaries, the very short styles, and 
the ferruginous colour of the greatest number and greatest parts 
of the bracts of the catkins all suggest S. aurita. I would prefer 
to call this S. aurita x caprea ( capreola J. Kern.). I should have 
liked to see the buds in August or September, when plumped up 
for next year’s flowering. — J. Fraser. The slender lateral 
branches, more broadly ovate leaves with tip frequently oblique 
and twisted, smaller catkins, sometimes narrow floral bracts, and 
style often very short or absent suggest to me a slightly different 
origin, viz. S. aurita x caprea . — J. E. Little. 
S. repens L. ? . [596.] Trotton Marsh, Borden Wood, W. 
Sussex, May 5, 1924. — J. E. Little. Leaves from same station 
as Ms. of 595 S' and 596 $> , but not from same bushes, Sept. 9, 
1925. — Miss K. Burne. Comm. J. E. Little. The flowers agreed 
to by E. F. Linton and J. Fraser. A very good example of 
S. repens L., f. fusca (L.) as described and figured by Smith. The 
leaves are elliptic-oblong, with straight points and a few glandular
