122 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



Scotland than earlier observations appeared to indicate. As 

 previously noted, it is markedly later than sativa in its development

Stellaria nemorum, Z., in Banffshire. In the same number of 

 this Journal, Mr. A. Bennett called attention to the distribution in 

 Scotland of this plant, remarking that it " does not seem to be 

 recorded farther north than 573o'" in this country. It is a scarce 

 and local plant in Scotland. I found it in small amount by the 

 Fiddich near Craigellachie (just about 5 7 2 9') in August 1899 > ar >d 

 I also met with a few rather small plants on the right bank of the 

 Deveron, a little way above Banff Bridge, in August 1900 at about 

 574o'N., little above the high-tide mark. JAMES W. H. TRAIL. 



Matricaria diseoidea in North Aberdeen. In supplement of 

 my note on this species in this Journal last October, I have to add 

 that I found in the end of September a few examples in the north 

 part of the parish of Tyrie, about three miles inland from Rosehearty, 

 where I first observed it some years ago, and that in October I saw 

 a few on the coast at the fishing village of Inverallochy in the parish 

 of Rathen, about seven miles east of Rosehearty as the crow flies. 

 As it does not yet occur between these places, or between Inver- 

 allochy and Boddam, its only habitat to the south, this is evidently 

 a new immigration (possibly by a boat from one of its other habitats), 

 apparently of quite recent date. JAMES W. H. TRAIL. 



The British Moss-Flora, by R. Braithwaite, M.D., F.L.S., etc. 

 Of this work Part XX. has just been issued, being the fourth part 

 devoted to the large and varied family Hypnacece. It sustains the 

 high reputation of the earlier parts for thoroughness and excellence 

 alike in the texts and in the plates. Subscribers are informed that 

 three more parts will complete the work, one of the finest mono- 

 graphs on the British flora.
