82 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



either among material for nests or by seeds attached to their 

 feet, as in one case at least the cave is at the end of a narrow 

 gully facing the sea, where seeds could hardly arrive by any 

 other means. It is the only flowering plant in such places, 

 occurring in its common shade form with glabrous pedicels 

 and calyx. 



STELLARIA ULIGINOSA, Murr. Rare ; roadside ditch between 

 Scarinish and Ballyphetrish. 



ARENARIA SERPYLLIFOLIA, L. Very common. 



ARENARIA PEPLOIDES, L. Common ; occurs principally on sandy 

 shores, but is also found in salt marshes. 



SAGINA MARITIMA, Dow. Rare ; among rocks on the shore near 

 Loch-na-Gile ; near the harbour. 



SAGINA PROCUMBENS, L. Common on banks, roadsides, and shores. 



SAGINA NODOSA, Fenzl. Sandy places in Hynish and Gott Bays; 

 wet pasture at Hianish. Probably not uncommon. 



SPERGULA ARVENSIS, Z., var. sativa (Bcenn.) Common in cultivated 



fields. 

 BUDA MARINA, Ditm. (Spergularia neglecta, Syme). Rather common 



in the salt marshes of the north-east shore. 



BUDA MEDIA, Dum. (Spergularia marginata, Syme). In the same 

 locality as the preceding, but more common ; also, though 

 rare, in Hianish salt marsh. 



MONTIA FONTANA, Z. Rare ; near Loch-na-Gile. 



HYPERICUM PULCHRUM, Z. Rare ; among rocks at Hynish Head 



and Kenavara. 

 HYPERICUM ELODES, Z. Rare ; small lochs at Ruaig ; loch on 



Hynish Hill. 

 LINUM CATHARTICUM, Z. Common on pastures and banks. 



GERANIUM SANGUINEUM, Z. Rare ; on rock ledges, Kenavara ; it 

 does not appear to occur on sand dunes as it does in the 

 neighbouring island of Coll. 



GERANIUM MOLLE, Z. Very common ; sand dunes, fields, and road- 

 sides. 



GERANIUM DISSECTUM, Z. - - Rather rare ; cultivated field and 

 roadside, Scarinish ; among rocks at roadside, Ballyphetrish ; 

 roadside, Barrapol. 



ERODIUM CICUTARIUM, L'Herit. Not generally common, but abund- 

 ant in places. Sand dunes, fallow fields, and tops of walls. 

 Usually very glandular in sandy places. A small eglandular 

 form, with calyx hairs mostly appressed, occurs in a pasture 

 field at Cliad. No plants with spotted petals were seen.
