232 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



SONCHUS ARVENSIS, L. Rocky ledges of Dunnet Bay, W. F. Miller !. 



[CREPIS NIC.EENSIS, Bolb. Railway bank. An introduced species 

 with seed ?] 



HIERACIUM IRICUM, Fr. Scrabster, Dunnet Head, W. F. Miller ! 

 H. SAXIFRAGUM, Fr., BOREADES, Zahii. Berriedale, Linton. 



H. ORARIUM, Lindcb., var. FULVUM, F. J. Hanb. Thurso River, E. 



S. Marshall. 



H. FARRENSE, F. J. Hanb. Steep grassy slope west of river above 

 Thurso, top of sea cliffs, Thurso Bay, Dr. Shoolbred. 



H. AURATUM, Fr. With the last. 



H. RUBICUNDUM, F. J. Hanb., (3. BOSWELLI, F. J. H. "Caithness." 



H. SCOTICUM, F. J. Hanb. Sandside and Isauld Burns, W.. F. 



Miller. 

 H. PROXIMUM, F. J. Hanb. Reay Links, Hanbury, sp., 1885 ; 



Thurso River, Hanbury ; between Thurso and Scrabster, E. S. 



Marshall, 1897. 



H. MURORUM, var. CAMPTOPETALUM, F. J. Hanb. Caithness. 



H. STRICTUM, Fr., var. RETICULATUM, Lindeb. Reay Sandhills, F. 



J. Hanbury, sp. 

 H. UMBELLATUM, L. Isauld Burn and Reay, W. F. Miller. There 



was some doubt about the Scouthall wood " umbellatum " of 



Dr. Davidson. 



PYROLA ROTUNDIFOLIA, L. On the old road to the Ord of Caith- 

 ness, E. Sutherland, 10/7/1894; on the shore, Mrs. Wahab, 

 sp. Within a mile (?) of the Caithness border, as from the 

 description given me by Mr. Kidston it must have been 

 gathered somewhere between the Ord Point and Navidale 

 House ; and the plant may be found on the Caithness side. 

 The specimen is certainly the usual plant and not the var. 

 arenaria, Koch. (P. maritiina, Kenyon). It occurs in Orkney. 

 Of the British species of Pyrola, this and P. minor extend up 

 to 71 40' in Europe (Norman), while in America it grows at 

 Franz Joseph Fjord in 73 N. lat. (Copeland and Panch, ex 

 Lange). In N. America it is a plant of " dry woods," and its 

 place is taken in bogs by P. nliginosa, Torrey ; while in 

 England our plant grows among Cladium, Lastrea cristata, 

 etc., and in wet seasons is difficult of access. 1 



VACCINIUM VITIS-ID/EA, L. Dunnet. "Scot. Alp Club." 



V. MYRTILLUS, L. With the last. This is known as the Blaeberry 

 generally in Scotland, and Dr. Prior seems to have been in 



1 See P. rotitndifolia in E. Anglia, "Trans. Norf. and Norwich Nat. Soc." 

 vol. vii. 512 (1902-3).
