42 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



between 1880 and 1890, so it must be read with the usual 

 allowance for time expired. It would be interesting if the 

 plant could be again traced up the river and any difference 

 noted. 



C. PANICEA, L. Near Watten Loch, D. Lillie, sp. 



C. SADLERI, Linton. Yarehouse, J. Grant, sp., 1885; near Wick, 

 J. Grant, sp., iSSi. 



C. CAPILLARIS, L. Cliffs near Keiss and Murkle ; cliffs at Scrabster, 

 J. Grant. 



C. XANTHOCARPA, Degland. Holborn Head, Dr. Shoolbred. 



C. FLAVA, Z., var. LEPIDOCARPA (Tausch.). Near Wick River, three 

 miles up, E. S. Marshall. 



?C. EXTENSA, Good. -" Caithness, Dr. Davidson, sp" is a note I 

 have, but I cannot find the specimen. It occurs in Outer 

 Hebrides (Duncan, sp.) and W. Sutherland (Miller, sp.). 



C. RIPARIA, Curtis. See "Annals," 1904, p. 250. 



C. ROSTRATA, Stokes. Grows with C. pulicaris, L., and C. fulva, 

 Good, at Watten, D. Lillie, sps. 



PHALARIS ARUNDINACEA, L. Near Stemster Loch, D. Lillie, sp. 



HIEROCHLOE BOREALIS, GmeL ex Ludwig. This was gathered by 

 R. Dick in May to June 1834, but remained unrecorded for 

 twenty years. 



AGROSTIS VULGARIS, var. PUMILA (L.). Near Wick, Dr. Shoolbred. 



A. CANINA, L., var. Grassy places near Holborn Head, E. S. 

 Marshall. 



DEYEUXIA NEGLECTA, Kunth ( = CALAMAGROSTIS STRICTA, Nutt. 

 Smallest Close Reed, Narrow Small-reed, Small Reed-grass). 

 Near Lochside, Castleton, August 1902, found associated with 

 Galium uliginosum, etc., Messrs. Shoolbred and Druce, " Journal 

 of Botany," 406, 1903; and "Ex. Club Report," 62, 1902 

 (1903). The D. borealis (a var. of neglecta) found by Mr. G. 

 C. Druce in Perthshire having become extinct, 1 Caithness 

 remains the only Scottish county (on present knowledge) in 

 which D. neglecta is to be found. It formerly occurred in 

 Forfar in the "White Mire Marsh, a mile from Forfar," where 

 it was discovered by G. Don in 1807 ; but the marsh having 

 been drained, the plant was lost. Another station is given by 

 Hooker, "Brit. Fl.," 32, 1830, "near Rescobie, four miles 

 from Forfar, T. Drummond " ', but I know of no specimens 

 thence. It is probable that the naming of Caithness specimens
