HEPATIC/E OF THE BREADALBANE RANGE 181 



fringes the river-edge most of the way up to a point directly 

 in front of the farm of Gillock, where it occurs in denser 

 patches. Gillock is about two miles above the river-mouth, 

 and for the last one and a half miles the Carex is to be met 

 with only sparsely, in little patches of half-a-dozen plants or 

 so. Between Gillock and the railway girder bridge over 

 the river at Sibster, three miles up, salina may be found 

 at wide intervals, and appears to reach no farther up than 

 this. All these places are on the north side of the river. 



On the south or Pulteneytown side of the river salina 

 hardly occurs. There are two small patches near Milton 

 Burn, and occasional plants of it a little farther up. The 

 fact of its being found almost entirely on the north bank of 

 the river is a remarkable one.

SECOND CONTRIBUTION. 



By P. EWING, F.L.S. 



SINCE writing my first article, which appeared in The 

 Annals" for 1903, pp. 235-243, I have spent two days at 

 Tyndrum with Mr. Macvicar and about six weeks on the 

 Range, most of my time being devoted to the distribution of 

 the Hepaticae. 



I have again to admit my indebtedness to Mr. Macvicar 

 for his valuable hints in the field, which were of great 

 service to me in my further researches after the smaller 

 species, and for showing me the habitat of some of the 

 rarer species mentioned below, and confirming or correcting 

 the more critical of those I collected myself. 



It is interesting to note that these two lists contain 

 three- fourths of the plants mentioned in the Census of 

 Scottish Hepaticae, a fact which of itself is ample proof that 

 the Range is quite as rich in this form of vegetable life as 

 the higher forms. 



During the last year I have been on sixteen of the 

 mountains forming the larger part of the Range, and what
