32 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



While in existing records reference is made to the variability of the 

 species, no attempt, as far as I know, has been made to separate 

 the two forms with regard to the localities where they have been 

 found. Definite observations are much wanted as to whether the 

 type form and the so-called variety occur separately or together in 

 the particular localities. The variety is so very well marked that 

 this should be attended to carefully with the view to settle the 

 claims of quadrifasciatus to the more exalted rank of a species. 



TOPOGRAPHICAL BOTANY OF SCOTLAND.

[Names of plants in italics, except as synonyms within curved brackets, denote 

 that the plants were certainly introduced into Scotland by man. f after a 

 district -number denotes introduction by man into the district; "cas." 

 denotes casual occurrence, and "esc." evident escape or outcast from culti- 

 vation, both being due to man's agency. Square brackets enclosing the 

 name of a plant or a district-number denote that the record was made in 

 error. ? after a district-number denotes, at least, need of confirmation ; 

 after + it denotes doubt as to whether the plant owes its presence in the 

 district to man. The SALICACE/E, accidentally omitted from their proper 

 place in our last issue, will be included in the Supplement. Corrections 

 and additions to the records now published will be gratefully received and 

 acknowledged by the compiler, whose earnest wish it is to supply an accurate 

 statement of our present knowledge of the distribution of the uncultivated 

 plants of Scotland, whether native or introduced by man intentionally or 

 casually. J. W. H. T.]
