J. castaneus, 8m. — Almost extirpated on Ben Lawers, 

 and now only to be got in outlying marshy 

 ground. I had the pleasure, however, of dis- 

 covering this plant in abundance in a new 

 station on a mountain west from Ben Lawers. 



Eriophorum angusti folium, Roth., var. elatius, Koch. 

 — I have often gathered this plant, believing it 

 to be an unusual form, but was unable to 

 identify it. I have now, however, been able to 

 assign it to the variety named, which is a 

 Scandinavian form included in the 8th edition of 

 the London Catalogue. 



Carex rigida, Good. — This plant had suffered by the 

 drought. 



C. vaginata, Tausch. — Only a few dried-up plants seen. 



C. capillaris, L. — The plants were very small and not 

 easily detected. 



C. pulla, Good. — I thought that I had made a " find " 

 when I obtained a specimen with light-coloured 

 glumes and fruit. The glumes appeared white 

 and the perigynia of a light-green colour when 

 gathered, otherwise it seemed to agree with the 

 general description of C. pulla. After having 

 received a few remarks on a specimen sent to 

 Mr. Arthur Bennett, F.L.S., I am quite willing to 

 look on it as an albino form of C. pulla. 



Phleum alpinum, L. — A large patch of this grass 

 proved the most gladdening sight during the 

 course of my wanderings this year. I have 

 always found this to be a rare plant on Ben 

 Lawers, and, in fact, all along the Breadalbane 

 range. As I do not suppose one could collect six 

 flowering-stems on Ben Lawers and Ben Ghlas 

 together, the sight of about a hundred proved a 

 most agreeable one. 



A vena alpina (Sm.). — Stunted, but plentiful, and the 

 specimens in nice condition for mounting. 



Sesleria cazmdea, Scop. — Plentiful, but nearly past.
