Wigtownshire. — In continuation of former short papers on the 

 botany of the three south-western counties of Scotland, and 

 especially with respect to new records of plants, I shall very 

 briefly sum up the results of my work during July and August of 

 1896. The new records for Wigtownshire are — 1. Milium effusuin, 

 Linn., in Wood of Park, Glenluce ; 2. Potamogeton lucens, Linn., 

 in Whitefield Loch, Glenluce ; 3. Mentha saliva, Linn., var. 

 paludosa (Sole), Sorbie Burn; 4. Lathyrusinacrorrhizus, Wimm.,, 

 var. tenui/olius, Roth, near Moss Park, Sorbie, by the Pev. 

 James Gorrie ; 5. Ballota nigra, Linn., Rigg Bay, Garliestown. 

 In two stations at the head of Luce Bay I gathered Thalictrum 

 minus, Linn., var. maritimum, Syme ; Ilupina rostellata, Koch, 

 was in great abundance in lagoons round the isle of St. Helena, 

 Glenluce; at Glenluce Abbey \yqvq Lithospermum officinale, Linn., 

 Barharea p7'cecox., R.Br., Verhascuin Thapsus, Linn.; and near the 

 Abbey Frunus insititia, Huds. Here I failed to find A7mm macu- 

 latum, Linn., and Pa^^ietaria officinalis, Linn. Along the shore 

 south of Glenluce grow Galium Mollugo, Linn., Scabiosa arvensis, 

 Linn., Cai^dUus tenuijlorus, Curt. ; but I failed to find the follow- 

 ing' plants recorded for the neighbourhood of Glenluce by the 

 Rev, George Wilson: — ■ Lobelia Dortmanna, Linn., Galium 

 cruciatum. Scop., Teesdalia nudicaulis, P. Br., and StacJnjs 

 Betonica, Benth. Potamogeton perfoliatus, Linn., grows in 

 Whitefield Loch. In Rigg Bay, Garliestown, now grow in 

 abundance Ilyoscyamus niger, Linn., and Datura Stramonium, 

 Linn. Here also are Beta maritima, Linn., Atrip)lex littoralis, 

 Linn., A triplex deltoidea, Bab., form rnarina, Atriplex Babingtonii,
