T/ie Scottish Naturalist. 57 



Journal. That I must miss some records, will be obvious enough 

 to those who have tried to keep up with our scattered botanical 

 literature. If those who glance over these records will communi- 

 cate any information they may be possessed of either to the 

 Editor or myself, we shall gradually make this record a repre- 

 sentative one for Scottish local botany. I need hardly say that 

 any help I can afford will be most cheerfully given to the best of 

 my ability. As before, the sequence, &C, is that of the 2nd Ed. 

 of Topographical Botany. 



S.N. refers to Scottish Naturalist, B.C. to the Botanical Exchange 

 Club, B.C. to the Botanical Record Club, and J.B. to The 

 Journal of Botany. 



Ranunculus confervoides, Fr. The Scotch specimens so 

 named I cannot consider the same as Fries' plant. A careful 

 comparison with authentic specimens of Fries' plant convinces me 

 they cannot be named confervoides ; but I cannot match the Scotch 

 specimens with any Scandinavian form at present.

NOTE. In The Journal of Botany for 1867, Mr. J. Carrol, in a list of 

 Norwegian and Lapland plants, mentions finding C. arctica, Schlecht., and 

 says, "exactly the same plant that I found on Ben Lawers in 1864." Mr. 

 Carrol was an excellent botanist ; and from this, and Mr. Beeby's remarks in 

 S.A 7 ., it is evident that this genus requires attention.
