 "Scot. Alp. Club" in iSSS, in Stirling (Somerville, sp.} (and 

 Fife. 



VALERIANELLA OLITORIA, Poll. Field in Reay, \V. F. Miller, sp. 



SAUSSUREA ALPINA, DC. var. MACROPHYLLA, G. et G. (sp.} non 

 Sauter ! I have specimens of this gathered by W. G. Horn, 

 Mr. Grant, and Mr. W. W. Reeves. There is nothing that 

 exactly matches these specimens either at British Museum or 

 at Kew. I do not find it given as a plant of sea-cliffs in any 

 British Flora. Is it known on sea cliffs in any other part of 

 Scotland ? In Arctic Norway ] it grows on the island of 

 Landegode, on sandbanks with Astragalus alpinus, Gentiana 

 campestris, and Pimpinella Saxifraga, and on many other 

 islands on the coast, as Hestmandoen, etc., and is in flower 

 from July 14 to September 20. 



LEONTODON AUTUMN ALIS, /., var. SORDIDA, Bab. - - Wick, Dr. 

 Shoolbred. 



TRAGOPOGON PRATENSE, Z., var. MINUS (Mill.}. Sandhills, Reay, W. 

 F. Miller ; Mr. Nicolson marks the type as the Caithness plant, 

 but Mr. Miller says he believes the Reay plant is var. minus. 

 Melvich (Sutherland) specimens are of that variety.

MATRICARIA ING-DORA, Z., var. SALINA, Bab. Cliffs west of Forss 

 Water, Reeves and Ward. 



M. MARITIMA, L. Coast at Scrabster, E. S. Marshall, sp. Mr. 

 Nicolson considers that all forms between the M. inodora and 

 M. maritima can be traced on the Caithness sandy links ; but 

 the query is, is he dealing with the true maritima ?
