 found or recorded: Comarum palustre, L., Loch Alsh ; Hieradum 

 argenteum, Fries, Cnochan ; Galium nligiuosum, L., Kinlochewe ; 

 and Artemisis vulgaris, L., Mollan. 



There are, on the other hand, six plants included by Professor 

 Trail for West Ross, about which I have no information namely, 

 Millegrana Radiola (if this is based on the record in " Top. Bot.," 

 ed. i. it is without personal authority ; ed. ii. it is an error) ; 

 Valerianella olitoria, Poll, (should this not be 103?); Arctium 

 ncmorosum, Lej. ; Carex riparia, Curt., Ewing, 99; Phleum arenarium, 

 L., and Ammophila arundinacea, Host. 



The total number of recorded species for the vice-county is now 

 over 620, besides casuals and numerous varieties. Several critical 

 plants are under examination. 



I am indebted to Professor Hackel, Mr. E. J. Baker, Herr 

 Freyn, Dr. J. von Sterneck, the Rev. A. Ley, E. S. Marshall, E. F. 

 Linton, Mr. Arthur Bennett, etc., for critical assistance.
