have recorded in the British Isles the variety angustifolius of 
Sonchus arvensis. He was closely associated with the Castle 
Museum during the y§ars he was resident in Norwich, and his 
knowledge and kindly personality endeared him to many citizens. 
In 1910 Dr. Long undertook the arduous task of compiling a 
catalogue of the herbarium of J. D. Salmon, which had been 
presented to the Museum in 1859.

Anemone apennina L. In a field amongst a rough under- 
growth of young elm suckers near Mitcham, Surrey, March 28, 
1926. Known here for the last fifty years, collected by De 
Crespigny and by A. Bennett in 1873. It grows in company 
with Eranthis hyemalis and Ranunculus auricomus. — E. C. Wallace.

Ranunculus lieterophyllus Weber [1311]. Pond by railway, 
between Oxshott and Stoke D’Abernon, Surrey, April 19, 1926. 
— E. C. Wallace and N. Sentance. The var. triphyllus (Hiern) 
of this species. To avoid ambiguity, this variety will in future 
be cited as trificlus mihi. — W. H. Pearsall. 
R. peltatus Schrank. 1 Pond on the Green at Chiddingfold, 
Surrey, May 7, 1926. — I. A. Williams. There appeared to be 
two forms growing together, (a) a stouter plant with coarser 
capillary leaves, which collapse on being taken from the water, 
and more regularly shaped floatfng leaves ; and ( b ) a slender 
plant, with finer capillary leaves, not so readily collapsing, and 
floating leaves very variously cut. The slender form was not 
showing so many flowers as the stouter one. There are speci- 
mens of each form on each sheet. I could find no fully grown 
fruit at this date. Are there two species in this gathering, or 
are the differences due to the age of the particular plants ? — I. A. 
Williams. The specimens are too incomplete to decide. — D. G. 
Catcheside. Probably correct ; but my specimen only shows one 
petal and no fruits. — W. LI. Pearsall.
