34 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



Agrostis alba, Linn., var. *coarctata (Hoffm.). On the sands of 

 Torrs Warren. 



Festuca ovina, Linn., var. *vulgaris. Torrs Warren. 

 F. rubra, Linn. A maritime form at Portpatrick, etc. 

 Osmunda regalis, Linn. Lochnaw, probably planted. 

 Equisetum maximum, Lain. Portpatrick, and as the var. minus. 



On the shingle of Loch Ryan, near to Sheuchan Mill, 

 several Casuals were seen. These probably owe their origin 

 to the siftings of Eastern barley from the mill in question. 

 Among them were : *Medicago denticulata, Willd., *Meli- 

 lotus indica, All., ^Trifolium lappaceum, Linn., K "T. re- 

 supinatum, Linn., ^Trigonella Foenum-graecum, Linn., : *T. 

 coerulea, Ser., *Lathyrus Aphaca, Linn., *Vicia villosa, Rotk., 

 V. lutea, Linn., *Lythrum Hyssopifolia, Linn., *Ammi majus, 

 Linn., *Coriandrum sativum, Linn., *Galium tricorne, Stokes, 

 *Plantago Psyllium, Linn., Phalaris paradoxa, Linn., *Santia 

 monspeliensis, Par!. ( = * Polypogoii], ^Hordeum marinum, 

 Huds., and ^Lolium italicum, Brann. 



It may be well to point out that there are earlier records 

 than those given in the " Flora of Dumfriesshire " for, among 

 others, the following species, nearly all of which will be 

 found in my list of 1883 : Coronopus Ruellii (C.procunibens, 

 Gilib., see " Top. Bot."), Hypericum acutum, Mcench. (H. 

 tetrapternm, Fries), Malva sylvestris, Linn., Ilex Aquifolium, 

 Linn., Ulex Gallii, PlancJi., Rosa spinosissima, Linn., CEnanthe 

 crocata, Linn., Myrrhis Odorata, Scop., Torilis Anthriscus, 

 Gczrtn. (Caucalis Anthriscus, Huds.}, Hedera Helix, Linn., 

 Lonicera Periclymenum, Linn., Scabiosa arvensis, Linn., 

 Artemisia vulgaris, Linn., Carduus crispus, Linn, (acanthoides), 

 Fraxinus excelsior, Linn., Ligustrum vulgare, Linn., Con- 

 volvulus sepium, Linn. (Volvulus sepium, Junger}, Myosotis 

 versicolor, Reidib., Lycopsis arvensis, Linn., Veronica ser- 

 pyllifolia, Linn., V. Tournefortii, Gmcl. (Buxbaumii), Plantago 

 major, Linn., Myrica Gale, Linn., Phalaris canariensis, Linn., 

 and Agrostis alba, Linn. The records of Arctium minus 

 and Primula veris, attributed to the Rev. W. W. [not C. C.] 

 Newbould were made by me, as to my knowledge he never 

 botanised in Wigtownshire ; but the latter species I did not 

 myself see in the county.
