Caithness, 109. — Wester Loch, i^ miles from the sea, 

 Dr. Ward, sp. Robert Dick also found it by the margin of 

 a loch 6 miles inland (Durran ?). 



Elgin, 95. — Kellas on the Lossie, 10 miles; and 

 Cuilleachan and Freeburn ^ on the Findhorn (96, Easterness), 

 18 miles from the sea, Messrs. Stables and Gordon, 1832.^ 

 St. Andrews -Llanbryde (Elgin), "where the sea formerly 

 reached," Dr. Gordon. 



Easterness, 96. — Ardclach on the Findhorn, Dr. Play- 

 fair, sp., 7 miles from the sea. 



S. Aberdeen, 92. — Loch of Park or Drum, on the 

 south side, 1 2 miles inland. I have a specimen gathered 

 here in 1872 by Dr. Roy. Can it be traced to a later date, 

 and is there any reason why it has become extinct ? 



All the other Scottish stations seem near the sea, but in 

 W. Sutherland (108) it occurs at 2^ miles inland, Han- 

 bury, sp. 



In Europe most of its stations are near the sea, but it 

 grows on the shores of Lake Ladoga (itself almost an inland 

 sea, 450 sq. miles in area) in Russia. 



" In Norway it grows at Ibbestad, at 2 I 5 metres above 

 the sea ; and Mr. O. Holmberg has this year found it half- 

 way between the sea and Sulitelma, probably more than 20 

 miles from the sea. In Sweden it is both a coast and a 

 subalpine species ; in Nordland between the sea and the 

 subalpine region ; at Pajala, 80 miles N. of the Gulf of 

 Bothnia ; and at Jockmock, Swedish Lapland, about the 

 same distance." — Dr. Nordsted m litt. 



In N. America it grows round the Great Lakes, Lake 

 Winnipeg, and Knee Lake, Keewatin, Canada ; but a variety, 

 niontanus, Englm., extends from Red River across the prairies 

 to Donald on the Columbia. The plant of the coast has 

 a panicle much more compact than that from the Great 

 Lakes ; ^ and I notice a tendency to the same in Scottish 

 specimens that grow only a short distance inland. 



On my specimens from Ardclach are many examples 



1 [This locality is between three and four miles from, and nearer the sea than, 

 where I found the plant, and is about 960 feet above sea-level. I had overlooked 

 the record.— J. W. H. T.]
