120 The Scottish Naturalist. 



The origin of the present list was thus. Happening to talk 

 about the altitudes of certain plants with Messrs. Roy and 

 Traill of Aberdeen, we found that each of us knew of some 

 plants with a higher vertical range than is generally supposed. 

 Consequently, we began to take notes in our excursions among 

 the hills, and soon added several more species to the list. In 

 it is included also some altitudes given by Dr. Dickie, and 

 which have not come under our observation ; to these are 

 appended the initials G.D.
