SO as not to appear as though clustered along it as in the Ingleboro’ 
plant. The specimens are more robust and pinnules more numerous 
than in Ingleboro’ examples. — J. A. Wheldon. 
L. spmulosa, Presl., var. glandulosa. (Moore, ex. p.). Sandy 
woods near Caistor ; and again sandy woods Wrawby Moor, N. 
Lincoln ; August 1907. These plants vary much in the shape of 
the scales of the stipe and the presence or absence of a dark stain 
in their centre ; but all differed in a well marked manner from 
typical spinulosa and typical dilatata^ in company with which they 
grew. Some of the fronds bear a close resemblance to fronds 
originally named glandulosa from Lydbrook, West Gloucester. I 
was unable to trace any difference in the root stock between the 
plants I send as L. glandulosa, and Z. dilaiata growing near. — 
Augustin Lev. Agrees very well with specimens named by 
Moore from Epping Forest. — A. B. Jackson. 
Eqtiisetum Ref. No., 3227. On mud. Chard Reservoir, 
v.-c. 5, S. Somerset, i6th Sept. 1907. Sub-erect from a creeping- 
rooting base. Stems scabrid at the angles ; central tube very small, 
exceeded by 6 or 7 lateral ones. I thought this most likely to be 
either a curious form of E. palustre or (possibly) a hybrid, E. 
arvense X palustre. Two good judges refer it to palustre ; a third 
could see nothing to keep it from arvense. The station is against 
arvense ; this season the water was remarkably low, and I believe 
that it is usually more or 'less submerged. Only barren plants 
occurred in the restricted locality where it grew. — Edward S. 
Marshall. Agrees with E. palustre, forma longiramosa, Klinge, 
but representing a weak state of it. — J. A. Wheldon. 
Chara hispida, var. horrida, Braun. Quy Fen, Cambridge, 
coll. R. P. Gregory, i8th June 1907. — E. S. Gregory. No; that 
(as its name implies) is extremely spinous. My specimen is 
almost spineless. — E. S. M. The labels were written ‘ Carex.' —

Tolypella intricata, Leonh. Pitney, N. Som., 27th April 1907. 
N. C. R.— E. S. M. 
Nitella ornithopoda, Braun. Shallow water on the Cazan road, 
Arcachon, Gironde, France, March and April 1906 ; f. laxa.—Q,. R. 
Bullock Webster. Canon Bullock Webster has kindly sent a 
supply of this rare and local charad from W. France ; it was thought 
that specimens would interest the members. Notes from the 
report of the Linnaean Society’s meeting, 7th March 1907, are 
appended : — 
Messrs. H. & J. Groves, F.L.S., exhibited a series of specimens
