NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY OF GLASGOW. 275 



alpine species, recorded for Ben Lawers, will be missed; but 5 will 

 be found which I never gathered, or know to have been gathered, 

 on that mountain. To this list I have appended some remarks to 

 show the distribution of certain species on the mountain; and 

 where no remark is made the plant may be understood to be 

 generally distributed. I have only given the altitude where I 

 regarded it as interesting. 



As to the list of Mosses, 179 in number, 19 will be found which 

 are not recorded for the county in the London Catalogue of British 

 Mosses, including 7 not there recorded for Scotland. 



As to the list of Hepaticae, 83 in number, 13 will be found 

 which are not recorded for the county in the London Catalogue, 

 including 7 not there recorded for Scotland. 



No doubt this list in itself is of little scientific value; but if 

 some of our members would take up the investigation of the botany 

 of a mountain, and collect and preserve the plants found upon it, 

 keeping also in view their distribution, such lists would be of very 

 great value indeed. No one can have any idea of the number of 

 species occurring on a mountain till his observations have taken this 

 form.
