Callander, 27th September, 1897 (Glasgow Autumn Holiday) 

 — On this date a small party, conducted by the President (Mr. 

 Robert Kidston, F.R.S.E., F.G.S.), yisited Callander. On arrival 

 the party walked to Strathyre, but little of special interest was 

 seen. One object the excursionists had in view was to re-discover 

 the station for Pilularia glohulifera, Linn., which had been found 

 on the shore of Loch Lubnaig about thirty years before by Messrs. 

 Pdchard M'Kay and George Horn, but in this the party was 

 unsuccessful. It was too late in the year for flowering plants 

 to be in good condition, and the only one collected, worthy of 

 mention, was Galium horeale, Linn., which was found at the Falls 

 of Leny. On previous excursions, the President states, Hieracium 

 auratum, Fries, and JI. boreale, Fries, had been found between 

 Leny and Strathyre ; and in Loch Lubnaig, Utricularia vulgaris^ 

 Linn.

 hillside, and soon afterwards traces of other two at higher levels
