The following interesting observations on the day’s work have been 
made by Dr. R. Melville: — 
There are colonies of primroses around the borders of the wood and 
a few plants along some of the rides that have remained during the 
“high coppice” interval. In the body of the wood, the population is 
oxlip and oxlip-primrose hybrids, which have back-crossed to oxlip dur- 
ing the phase in which the coppice has grown up. Probable FI plants 
were seen only in a few places along rides where both species were 
present.. Many of the plants in the “high coppice” shoAfred some charac- 
ters of the primrose. Shortly after this wood was cut in the 1930’ s the 
population was largely of FI’s and plants of similar appearance. Prihi- 
rose characters have therefore been to a large extent eliminated from 
the population in the “high coppice” phase. Several plants were seen 
in which the petals weie distinct and separate from one another and 
there was one with a foliose calyx. 
Most of the plants of the oak-ash-hazel woods were present, including 
a good displaj' of Anemone nernorosti in places, Mercurialis perennis, 
Ajuga reptans, etc. There was a colon}' of lleUehorus viridis in one 
corner. At the other end of the wood were some colonies of Narcissus 
pseudo-narcissus which was present also in the second wood. The purity 
of these colonies was questioned at tea-time, but 1 saw no plants that 
I considered were hybrids. Their ai^pearance was uniform and like other 
English colonies of this plant that 1 have seen, e.g. in Surrey, it is not 
impossible that one or two plants have been hybridised from pollen de- 
rived from gardens in the village, but 1 saw no evidence of this. 
In the second wood there were few, if any, plants I would have placed 
as pure oxlip. I saw hybrids there.
