Ward,I have endeavoured to sift the relationship of forms as weknow them. In 1898 Franchet translated Fritillaria lophoplcora intoLilium lophophorum, because it has so much in commonwith Lilium oxypetalum, Baker, and L. apertum, Franch.,that it is impossible to place it in a different genus. Thebulb, the form of perianth, the dorsifixed versatile anthersare more characters of Lilium than of Fritillaria—a genuswhich cannot be precisely defined at the present timeunless one restricts it to species with a campanulate corollaof the tjq^e of that in F. Meleagris, and especially to thosein wliich the style is trifid. I agree with Franchet, exceptthat his argument leads me not to Lilium but to a newgenus or to Nomocharis, qualifying this statement, however,by saying that I have not had opportunity of examiningLilium apertum, which I take to be a plant not unlikeL. oxypetabtm, Baker, seeing that Franchet had previouslythought it was this species.

L/ii//iras anicr/ld/us, Iourii. David 1aul. 1917-18.) BOTANICAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 301 Notes on the Occurrence of Clathrus cancellatus,Tournf., in Argyllshire. By Very Rev. DavidPaul, D.D., LL.D. (With Plate No. VI.) (Read 13th December 1917.) This fungus was found by me on 10th September 1917near Kilmelford, Argyll, growing in a flower border ex-tending along the wall of a shooting-lodge. There wereabout six specimens, mostly in the egg stage. One thathad burst the skin of the egg developed well later, andwas photographed. Other two were also brought home,and grew to maturity. It appears that this fungus has not been found beforein Scotland. In England it is rare, and confined to theextreme south. It has been found in the Isle of Wight,Torquay, Lyme Regis, Haslemere, Bournemouth, and nearWindsor. It has never been gathered by the BritishMycological Society in any of their forays. It is said tohave been found in the south of Ireland. Beyond Britain the plant occurs frequently in the
