Ollaberry ; not seen elsewhere. Tate refers Edmonston's C. speiro- 

 stachya to C. distans ; the latter I saw nothing of. 



% 0. flava L. Common as the var. minor Towns. 



O. lepidocarpa Tausch (teste Lange). N. Bogs near Olla- 

 berry. C. (Ederi not seen. 



C. juncella Fries. Almost as common in wet places as the 



type Goodenowii. 



Agrostis canina L. Apparently scarce ; seen only (U.) on 

 the hills about Baltasound. A curious dwarf form occurs in the 

 same district, and is considered by Professor Hackel to be a state 

 infected with an Ustilago, analagous to the state of A. vulgaris 

 called " pumila." 



A. stolonifera I* (alba). Common ; var. maritima Meyer. 

 U. at Baltasound. N. Probably near Ollaberry. The form co- 

 arctata Reich (var.) at N. Ollaberry ; and L. Clickhimmin Loch. 



A. vulgaris L. and the state pumila both rather common. 



Deschampsia csespitosa Beaur. Frequent ; var. pallida 

 Koch (sub Aira). Y. Borders of pastures at Hamna Voe. The 

 flowers of this variety areas yellow as those of Trisetum flavescens. 



D. flexilOSa Trim Common ; var. montana Trim U. Top 

 of Saxa Vord Hill. 



Aira praecox L. Ubiquitous. I could not see A. caryo- 

 phyllea. 

 Arrhenatherum avenaceum Beauv. Apparently rare ; 



Seen only (Y.) on the sea-bank at Mid Yell Yoe. 



Molinia cserulea Moendi. Apparently always as the * var. 

 minima Rabenhorst. This is no doubt the M. depauperata B. 

 bulbosa Edmondst., the only form seen. 



GKLyceria fhlitans R.Br. N. Bogs near Hillswick Yoe. 

 Noted elsewhere ; apparently always this species. 



Poa pratensis L. Usually as the var. subccerulea (Sim), 

 while P. trivialis, on the other hand, attains larger proportions. 



Dactylis glomerata L. Said to be common, but I did not 

 note it. Included in Top. Bot., but on what authority does not 

 appear. 



Festuca OVina L. Common, with viviparous forms ; also 

 the same form of the sub-var. Iwvifolia Hackel, on rocks by the 

 Loch of Cliff, Unst. 



F. rubra L. Common, and all forms collected referred to 

 the var. genuina Hackel, including sub vars. typica, litoralis, and
