Just a note when it comes to notes, you're best referring to the written/fingered note as opposed to the concert pitch note as that applies across the board, or if you want to, add the concert pitch note in brackets after the written/fingered note. As all the other sizes of oboes are transposing instruments, the written/fingered note is the best point of reference to use for any given note.

Therefore, low B (xxx low B|xxx low C or xxx low B|xxx on instruments with a low B-C link) is low B on all instruments and low E (xxx|xxo) is low E on all instruments. Occasionally there are scores and parts for cor or d'amore written at pitch and are usually transposed at sight (eg. the d'amore parts in Holst's 'Somerset Rhapsody'), but they're few and far between and that's usually seen in some scores where everything's written at pitch.
