n 4 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



SCHCENUS NIGRICANS, L. Shore at Poll nam Partan. 



CAREX DIOICA, L. Not many plants seen. 



CAREX PULICARIS, L. Laig Bay. 



CAREX ARENARIA, Z. Common on sandy shore, Laig Bay. 



CAREX VULPINA, L. Very rare ; Laig Bay. 



CAREX ECHINATA, Murr. Common. 



CAREX OVALIS, Good. Uncommon. 



CAREX GOODENOWII, J. Gay. Generally distributed. 



CAREX FLACCA, Schreb. Rather common, especially near the shore ; 

 Mr. Arthur Bennett remarked on a specimen from Strath cliffs : 

 " Approaching in habit to var. stictocarpa." ( Forma flavescens, 

 near Musical Sands. W. F. M.) 



CAREX PILULIFERA, L. Scuir ; glumes frequently awned. 



CAREX PALLESCENS, L. Uncommon ; occurs with both crimped 

 and plain bracts. 



CAREX PANICEA, L. Common ? 



CAREX BINERVIS, Sm. -- Common ; also grows on Cleadale and 

 Strath cliffs. 



CAREX FLAVA, L. Common ; this plant, with Festuca ovina, L., 

 forms the greater part of the scanty covering of the upper 

 Scuir ridge. 



CAREX ROSTRATA, Stokes. Rare ; ditch near Schoolhouse ; Laig 

 Bay. 



PHALARIS ARUNDINACEA, L. Rare. 



ANTHOXANTHUM ODORATUM, L. Common. 



ALOPECURUS GENICULATUS, L. Common ? 



ALOPECURUS PRATENSIS, L. Rare ; sides of cultivated fields. 



AGROSTIS CANINA, L. Rather common. 



AGROSTIS PALUSTRIS, Huds. Common. 

 Var. maritima, Mey. Laig Bay. 



AGROSTIS VULGARIS, With. Common. The dwarf state, infected 

 with a fungus, also occurs in dry places. 



AMMOPHILA ARUNDINACEA, Host. Sandy shore, Laig Bay ; Poll nam 

 Partan. I was told that this had been introduced to the 

 former place by a farmer some years ago, my informant showing 

 me a specimen that he himself had introduced on to the main- 

 land ; but as he thought that Elymus arenarius was the same 

 species, and as this latter plant also grows at Laig Bay, it is 

 probably the one introduced into Eigg, since Ammophila 

 occurs also in another part of Eigg, which my informant was 

 unaware of.
