Stems |-in. to lin. high, fasciculately branched, leaves pale 
green, the lobes equal, both short, with acute points, the 
sinus reaches only about Jth of the leaf, base of the leaf 
clasping the stem, margin entire, repand-undulate, and 
looking somewhat crisped when dry. 
I first collected this species April, 1858, by the Strid, 
Bolton Woods, Yorkshire, and more recently have received 
specimens from Mr. Mudd, from Teesdale. 
In general habit J. Bartlingii resembles some aquatic 
forms of S. arcosey, Ehrharti (J. emarginata), more than a 
S. capania. The lobes are more nearly equal, and the sinus 
shallower, than in any other species with which I am 
acquainted, and are not recurved. 
From J. sequiloba it may be distinguised by the entire 
leaves — those of J. sequiloba are coarsely toothed, and the 
anterior lobe, except in the apical leaves, smaller than the 
under one. 
From S. compacta it may be known by the lobes in that 
species being nearly round, — whereas in J. Bartlingii they 
are ovate, acute, and undulate.. 
Dr. Alcock read a paper “ On the hair of the Musk-deer.” 
He said that he found no full account of it in the books 
he had referred to, though most of its characters were 
separately mentioned by different authors. 
The hair is about two inches long, thick, rigid, brittle, 
without elasticity, and scarcely at all flexible ; it has nearly 
a uniform thickness for three-fourths of its length from the 
base, and then gently tapers to a fine point ; its section is 
not quite circular but slightly flattened on two sides, the 
other sides having a wavy outline in consequence of the 
hair being bent alternately in opposite directions; in the 
length of the hair there are about fourteen of these bendings, 
they are most strongly marked in the middle third, at which
