36 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



to Watson's British type. There are 1 4 species which belong 

 to the English type, viz. : 



Papaver Rhccas (colonist). CEnanthe Lachenalii. 



Potentilla reptans. Centunculus minimus. 



Drosera intermedia. Samolus Valerandi. 



LytJirum Salicaria. Volvulus Soldauella. 



Eryngium maritimum. Scirpus Tabcrnamwntani. 



Apium nodiflorum. Carex disticha. 



Sium erectum. Fcsttica rottbcellioides. 



This is one twenty-third part of the whole known flora of 

 the island : a large proportion for this coast, and more than 

 double that of the low-ground flora of Mull. 



There are 9 species which belong to the Scottish type : 



Thalictrum dunense. Lobelia Dortmanna. 



Ligusticum scoticum. Pneumaria maritiina. 



Pinguicula vulgaris. Scirpus rufus. 



Potamogeton filiformis. Carex dioica. 

 Antennaria dioica. 



To the Atlantic type belong 5 species : 



Viola Curtisii. Pinguicula lusitanica. 



Hypcricum el odes. S cilia verna, 



Sedum anglicum. 



To the Highland type there is one species, Selaginella 

 selaginoidcs ; and to the Local type, one species, Utriculana 

 intermedia. 



The island is estimated to contain 18,828 acres, of 

 which foreshores are given as 222 acres, roads 113 acres, 

 water 489 acres, and tidal water 17 acres. The population 

 is numbered at 2500. 



The following list is the result of visits made in 1896 

 and 1897. A few more species will doubtless be found, 

 especially among late-flowering plants and weeds of cultiva- 

 tion. Except in a few instances, I have not especially 

 mentioned whether the species appear native or not : the 

 nature of the localities cited will give an indication as to this. 



I am greatly indebted to Mr. Arthur Bennett for notes
