The Chairman reported on a three days' visit which he had 

 made to Ben Lawers in July. Vegetation was behind, and 

 plants in flower seemed as if they had reached this condition 

 prematurely. The great cold of June, and the correspondingly 

 great heat of July, might account for this. Draba rupestris, 

 R. Br., was plentiful and in good flower. Plants of Saxi/raga 

 cernua, Linn., were fairly numerous, but most of them were 

 small. Erigeron alpinum, Linn., Veronica saxatilis, Linn., 

 Arenaria sulcata, Schlecht, Are7iaria sedoides, Schultz, Draba 

 injlata (y — Erop}iila vulgaris, DC.) were among those in fair 

 flower, while the Hieracia and a few other Composites, and all 

 the Alpine Carices and Grasses, were in a very backward 

 condition. A few plants of Woodsia hyperborea, R. Br., were 

 seen, and the two patches of Cystopteris montana, Bernh., seem 

 no less than on former occasions. The plants mentioned here- 

 after were all exhibited at the meeting : — Sagina Linncei, Presl.,
