A LIST OF WIGTOWNSHIRE PLANTS, by Mr. James M 'Andrew, 

 pp. 1-41. In this brochure the author, after a brief historical sketch 

 of the extension of information in regard to the flora of Wigtown- 

 shire, enumerates all Vascular Plants and Characetz known to him 

 in the county. Very noteworthy is absence of alpine plants. Some 

 of those marked as " introduced " appear peculiar in this connection, 

 e.g. Dianthus deltoides. A few printer's errors will call for correction 

 when another issue is required.

 found by Professor Balfour among some old papers of his father, 

 and is believed to be the work of a former parish minister of Inver- 

 keithing, in the earlier half of this century. It appears to omit only 

 very common plants, and notes several plants as "decidedly intro- 

 duced."
