the exannulalum group, difficult to describe, but absent here. The 
leaf base in all the fluitans group too is more truncate, the line of 
insertion straighter, so that the leaves at the auricles are generally 
about as wide as just above ; in aduncum they narrow to the semi¬ 
circular line of insertion, so that the auricles are brought near 
together. That this holds good to a great extent is I think evi¬ 
denced by a comparison of the various figures given by Renauld 
(Husnot, Museol, Gall.) for the two species. I should say H. adun¬ 
cum , between var. intermedium and pseudo-duitans, nearer the latter.”

- v. falcifolium. Near f. viridis Boul. (teste Dixon.) South- 
port. May, ’98. J. A. Wheldon. “ Mr. Ingham thinks this is 
H. aduncum var. gracilescens. When Mr. Dixon named this he did 
so with an expression of doubt which unfortunately I overlooked, 
and hence the packets were not marked ?, as they should have been. 
Mr. Dixon suggests as a possible name H. sendtneri (? f. gracilescens 
Sno.) I am submitting specimens to M. Renauld, and now ask 
members to place a query on their specimens until his determin¬ 
ation is announced ”—J. A. Wheldon. “ II. aduncum (pseudo- 
fluitans)." —F. Renauld.

“ I think this is Hypnum molle var. Schimperianum Schp., but as I 
have never seen specimens I should like it to be referred to Mr. 
Dixon.”—W. Ingham. “ Mr. Bagnall considers the Limnobium to 
be II. palustre , which is what I thought it, so I think the name may 
be accepted. It is an unusual form, however.”—H. N. Dixon.
