54 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



conference at Dundee has kindly voted five pounds, and I am 

 informed that the New Club of Forfarshire will probably give a 

 similar amount ; and I now venture to ask your readers to con- 

 tribute to this project, even by any small sum, so that a recognition, 

 even if tardy, may be offered to the unwearied and unselfish investi- 

 gator into the natural history of Scotland. Subscriptions may be 

 sent to me at 118 High Street, Oxford. G. CLARIDGE DRUCE. 



[The proposal to commemorate George Don is one that must 

 commend itself to all that know how much he did to extend what 

 was known of the flora of Scotland, and under what conditions he 

 did that work. We trust that such a response will be given to Mr. 

 Druce's appeal as to ensure the provision of a suitable memorial.

The Deadnettles (Lamium] in Scotland. Mr. S. T. Dunn, in his 

 paper on the "Origin of the Deadnettles in Britain" (" Journ. Bot." 

 1902, October), comes to the conclusion that only Laminm Galeob- 

 dolon can be regarded as indigenous ; that L. album, L. purpureum, 

 L. incisum, L. amplexicaule, and L. intermedium are unknown in 

 Britain, " except in places prepared for them unintentionally by 

 man " ; and that L. maculatum and L. bifidum " seem to have only 

 an insecure footing in our flora, being found only where they have 

 escaped from gardens, or been introduced with agricultural seed, and 

 never spreading of their own accord." Criticising this paper, the 

 Rev. E. S. Marshall ("Journ. Bot." 1902, pp. 390-391) expresses 

 the view that, as regards L. purpureum, " there is fairly strong 

 evidence in favour of its being aboriginal," and that "Z, incisum
