Bromus rigidus , Roth. Near Gorey, Jersey, 21st May 1896. 
The “ rag collecting ” method of nomenclature is so erratic that one 
hardly knows how to regard the vagaries of the ‘ Lon. Cat.’ The 
omission of B. maximus , however, and its replacement by a second 
“ B. rigidus , Roth,” is surely not to be taken seriously, it must be a 
pure blunder. — Jas. W. White. 
B. arvensis , Linn. Shore of Cropstone Reservoir, Leicestershire. 
New to the district, July 1894. — F. T. Mott. 
Ophioglossum vulgatum , L.; var. polyphyllum , A. Braun. Fine 
turfy ground, Brei Wick, Northmaven, Shetland, 6th August 1896. 
This confirms the species for the county, and is a new record so far 
as the variety is concerned. The plant occurred in considerable 
abundance, just above the fresh water loch. — W. H. Beeby. 
Isoeies lacustris , Linn., var. ? Near Pencaenewydd, Chwilog, 
Carnarvonshire, July 1896. — J. E. Griffith. 
I. lacustris , L., var. Near Pwllheli, Carnarvonshire, July 1896. — 
J. E. Griffith. 
Chara contraria , Kuetz. Brittas Lake (larger and smaller form), 
Westmeath, 22nd July 1895; L Owel, Westmeath, 20th July 1895; 
small form, L. Deraveragh, Westmeath, 24th July 1895. In some 
quantity in loughs on and near the Knock Drin estate. — E. F. Linton.
