1 70 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



this name in Britain occurs in Shetland and almost certainly 

 in Orkney also, though recorded with a query for the latter 

 flora. Viola ericetoruiu, Schrader, has not been distinguished 

 in Orkney from the other " dog violets," while it has been 

 so in Shetland. Epilobimn obscunu/i, Schreb., is on record 

 for Orkney, but not for Shetland. 



Spergula arvensis, L., var. sativa, Boenn., is common in 

 both vice-counties, while var. i<?ilgar2S, Boenn., is a scarce 

 form in Scotland, and had not previously been noted from 

 any county north of Aberdeenshire. It is, therefore, sur- 

 prising to find it recorded from Fair Isle, where var. sativa 

 does not appear to have been observed. 



In conclusion, our present knowledge of the flora of the 

 island is not sufficient to indicate an evidently closer affinity to 

 one group of the neighbouring isles rather than to the other.
