Mr. John Smith, Corresponding Member, exhibited Hypericum, 

 elodes^ Linn., and Inula dysenterica, Linn., from Ayrshire. Mr. 

 Smith had found the former plant beside the Clachrie Burn, in 

 Barr Parish, and on the Polgown Burn, in Colmonell Parish. It 

 had been recorded previously from Dalrymple and Coylton 

 Parishes. The latter plant was found in Ballantrae Parish; and 

 Mr. Smith knows of no previous record for the county. 



Mr. Pw. D. Wilkie exhibited Heterocladiuni hetero2)terum, Bruch. 

 (var. ?), from the Falls of Clyde. This plant was exhibited at the 

 meeting of the Society on 26th December last year as Amblyste- 

 gium Sprucei, B. & S. The record was confirmed by Dr. Braith- 

 waite, and in the part of his British Moss Flora which was last 

 issued this is mentioned as the only Scottish record. A further 

 examination of the plant by Mr. Wilkie showed it to be a variety 

 of Heterocladium heteropterum, Bruch. This determination has 

 been concurred in by Dr. Braithwaite, who sent specimens of 

 Atnhlystegium Sprucei^ B. & S., from North America, which were 

 also exhibited at the meeting,
