MISCELLANEOUS NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS. 
C. palustris, Peterm ; of continental authors. The true C. pratensis L. 
has radical leaves with five to eight pairs of sessile leaflets, which 
are rounded at the base, but not cordately emarginate, and the 
flowers are usually white. We in England do not consider that 
these forms differ sufficiently to constitute a species, so we should 
name your plant C. pratensis L. var. palustris (Peterm), f. 
According to Mr. Druce of Oxford, G. pratensis, L. is rare in 
England. — F. Long. 
Box vulgaris in Norfolk. — About the middle of December last 
(1902), through the courtesy of Mr. Cole, to whom it was sent for 
preservation, I had the opportunity of examining a specimen of this 
fish which was found on the beach near Cromer ; when fresh it was 
very beautifully coloured, the back being dark olive green merging 
into silvery white on the sides and under parts with stripes of 
a golden colour along the sides below the lateral line the caudal fin 
a fine crimson, increasing in depth of colour towards the margin — 
length 9 inches and greatest depth 2f inches. This fish, which 
belongs to the family of Sparidae (Sea Breams) is not sufficiently 
well known in England, to have acquired a vernacular name but in 
France it is known as “Bogue.” Although it has occurred in a few 
instances on this south coast of England, I am not sure that it has 
been recorded so far north as Norfolk, its true home being the 
waters of the Mediterranean sea, the range extending as far south 
as the West India Islands. Like most of the southern stragglers 
to our coast its occurrence appears to be the result of stormy 
weather. Being for the most part a vegetable feeder, and accustomed 
to the profusion of marine vegetation covering the rocks of the 
warmer seas of the south, the sandy shores of our shallow waters 
would be very unsuitable, as a habitat for this handsome species 
which paid the penalty of its visit to our troubled waters with its 
life. — T. Southwell.

Additions aud Corrections. Since the above-named paper was 
written the following species have been found : — 
Avion minimus Simroth Succinea e/egans Risso 
Limax marginatus (Mull) Hyalima alliaria (Miller) 
The name of one species recorded before requires correction, for 
Pisidium nitidum, p. 349, 1. 27 and p. 352, 1. 39, read 
Pisidium milium, Held. — A. Mayfield.
