The Chairman (Dr. Stirton) gave an interesting account of a 

 recent visit to the Outer Hebrides. A careful search was made 

 by him for the rare moss Myurliun Hebrldaruvi, Schpr. ; and 

 after he had almost despaired of finding it, it was discovered 

 on South Uist and afterwards on Benbecula and Barra. Dr. 

 Stirton exhibited specimens from South Uist ; and in the course 

 of some remarks on the distribution of the moss, he stated that 

 it had now been found in the Azores, Madeira, Barra, South 

 Uist, Benbecula, and North Uist — all islands of the Atlantic 

 chain. With the exception of Cape of Good Hope, it has been 

 found nowhere else. Among the plants observed by Dr. Stirton 

 on Benbecula were the following : 



Ligusticuni scotlcum, L. 



Erythra^a Centauriwm, Pers. 

 — A broad-leaved form. 



Anagallis tenella, L.— Com- 

 mon. 



Blysmus rufus, Link, 

 Scirpns flnitans, L. 

 Osiminda regalls, L. 

 Ophloglossum vulgatwm^ L.
