Some of the names seem to require revision, and the list may be 

 extended probably by the addition of species known to readers of 

 this Journal. 



Scottish Galls. In the endeavour to work out the distribution 

 of the galls of the Scottish flora, I desire very much to obtain or to 

 see specimens from all parts of the country, either dried or in the 

 fresh state. The names will be gladly supplied to the senders, and 

 the galls will be returned if that is wished. The dates and localities 

 of collection of the specimens add to their value, as do any notes as 

 to frequency, or on points that the collector may think of interest. 

 All help will be greatly appreciated, and will be duly acknowledged. 

 Specimens should be addressed to my house (71 High Street, Old 

 Aberdeen), or to Marischal College, Aberdeen. JAMES W. H. TRAIL. 



Scottish Rubi. W T ith specimens of Ruin from Buchan, a few 

 collected by me in other parts of Scotland were kindly named by 

 the Rev. W. Moyle Rogers. Some of the forms have not been 

 put on record from the districts from which these specimens were 

 brought. 



R. plicatus, W. and N., var. hemistemon (P. J. Muell). An example 

 from the mouth of the Fiddich, in Banffshire, 94, and another 

 from beside the Spey at Elchies, in Elgin, 95, "probably" 

 belong to this. 



R. Rogersii, Linton. 94*, beside the Fiddich at Craigellachie. 



R. latifolius, Bab. To this Mr. Rogers is disposed to refer a 

 bramble gathered near the Don about a quarter of a mile from 

 the sea, in S. Aberdeen, 92. 



R. radula, var. echinatoides, Rogers. 92*, by the Dee, near Cults. 



Of forms already recorded from the vice-counties in which I 

 found them were R. hirtifolius, var. danicus, Focke, and R. infestus, 

 Weihe, from Murthly, in Mid-Perth, and R. mucronatus, Blox., from 

 New Machar, in S. Aberdeen. JAMES W. H. TRAIL.
