(‘Card, and Eot. Diet.,’ vol. ii., pt. ii., 1807) mentioned the 
matter ; and the riddle will only be solved by careful experi- 
ments conducted after the manner of recent Mendelian workers. 
It will be remembered by those who have read his paper, that 
Mr. Henry did not self-pollinate any elms ; but this procedure 
is necessary before it is safe to make far-reaching deductions 
regarding hybrid plants. Mr. Henry had seeds collected as 
they fell from the trees ; and there is therefore no proof that 
his seedlings were pure, as a pure species will, if pollinated by 
a hybrid, give seeds which throw mixed seedlings. — C. E. Moss. 
At Castle Donington in Leicestershire, I have seen a hedgerow 
tree similar in habit to the one Dr. Moss describes, but its growth 
is different from that of the Cornish elm, being more pyramidal. 
On foliage characters alone, however, it seems difficult to separate 
it. — A. B. Jackson. Judging from Mr. Jackson’s remarks, it would 
appear that there must be two plants which are known as the 
Cornish elm ; but this small-leaved elm is neither of them. — 
C. E. Moss. The tree, whatever be its true name, I feel con- 
vinced is a distinct species. It occurs also in Hunts., Beds., 
Bucks., Suffolk, E. and W., Essex, N. and S., &c. — G. Claridge 
Druce. 
Ulmus glabra, Mill., variety? Fineshade Abbey, Northants. ; 
planted tree'; August 8, 1910.— Augustin Ley. Type U. glabra 
as I understand it. I do not see why var. is added.— A. B. 
Jackson. Mr. Jackson’s comparison of the foliage of this, the 
small-leaved elm {U. saliva, Mill), with that of the Cornish elm 
{U. minor. Mill. = U. stricta, Lindl.) is interesting; and the two 
plants caused some confusion in the minds of the earlier botanists. 
The confusion is due to its not having been realized that Miller 
made two species of Goodyer’s Ulmus minor, folio angusto, scabro. 
— C. E. Moss. 
Ulmus glabra, Mill, var. glandulosa, Lindley. Terraces of 
Ludlow Castle, Salop; several large trees; September 5, 1910. 
This is the locus classicus form which Lindley described his variety. 
Tree twigs and suckers sent.— Augustin Ley. Yes, agreeing with 
the specimens so named by Lindley himself in Herb. Univ. Cantab. 
The upper surface of the sucker-leaves of all our elms a.m scabrid. 
C. E. Moss. The leaves of this are minutely glandular beneath, 
like Lindley’s specimens in Herb. Br. Mus. I think correct.

17 /mus vegeta, Loudon, variety. Foy, Herefordshire, October 
a IQOO ; planted trees. Differing from usual V. vegela m the per- 
fectly smooth leaves ; but agreeing with it in long straight ascending 
branches. — Augustin Ley. Loudon described the Huntingdon
