labelled " Glamis Bog near Forfar.'' Is this the same locality as 

 Restennet moss ? 



E. vaginatum, 74, 5 ; E. angustifolium, 74, 5 ; E. latifolium, 

 88, 97. 



Carex dioica, 74 Bruce! 2 Ley, E.G. 1883, 5 Bruce ; C puli- 

 caris, 74, 5, 7 Miller; C. pauciflora, 87, 5 Bruce ! 11. 



"Mr. Grant of Wick writes that Robert Dick's specimens of C. pauciflora 

 are from " Dunnet Sands, Caithness," Unfortunately he has not had an 

 opportunity of examining them carefully. The locality is unusual in Britain ; 

 and I should not be surprised if they prove to be C. microglochin. 



C. incurva, n; C. stellulata var. Grypos, 89 Linton, probably 

 elsewhere on mountains; C. stellulata (type), 74, 5, 7 ; C. 

 leporina, 94; C. curta, 74, 89, 96 ! 97 Bailey, 5 ; C. helvola, 92 

 Balfour ! C. elongata, 73 M' Andrew : a good addition to the Scotch 

 flora ; it will not improbably be found still further north ; C. 

 remota, 74, 92, 97, 5 ; C. intermedia, 72 Finglandl 92 ; C. are- 

 naria, 73, 74, 5 Bailey ; C. muricata, 74, 7 Miller \ C. vulpina, 

 72 Fingland, 74; C. teretiuscula, ^, 8 ! C. paniculata, 89, 91, 

 94; C. vulgaris, 73 M c Andrew ! 74, 9! C. rigida, 4 Grieve ! 5 

 Bruce, B.C. 1 88 1-2 ; C. rigida var. inferalpina (Laestad, Nov. 

 Act. Upsal. 11, 90, at Little Gulrannoch, Hanbury and Fox ! 

 This is liable to be passed over as G. aquatilis, and I suspect the 

 plant mentioned by Syme (Eng. Bot., Ed. III.), from "Little 

 Graigendal" is this plant). C. salina, var. kattegattensis (Fr.), 9 

 Grant ! (Scot. Nat., 1885, p. 68), very plentiful, growing with C. 

 aquatilis, var. Watsoni, and other Gyperacew. 



C. aquatilis, 72 Coles and M t Andrew, 73 M l Andrew. 



" s 9& Moray" in "Top. Botany," is an error, aud should be "95 Elgin." Some 

 ideaof the rapid progress made inrecording thedistributionof this speciesin Scot- 

 land may be formed on contrasting the records in " Cybele Britannica," 1850. 

 p. 310 (where it stands for Forfar and Aberdeen only, the then known stations 

 being separated by the boundary of the counties, and by the bridge of Clova), 

 with our present records for 15 counties. I have not been able to obtain the 

 mountain form to cultivate besides the var. Watsoni. Contrasting the 

 Dumfries and the Caithness specimens, they prove to differ in the length and 

 thickness of their spikes, the northern plants approaching the sub-sp. obtusa 

 Blytt, from the Sogne Fjiord in Norway. There is less difference between th- 

 Caithness specimens and plants from Lough Allen in Ireland, far less than 

 between specimens from the Varanger Fjiord in Finmark, and others from the 

 South of Norway. In Scandinavia it is very variable. In the " Botanical 

 Gazette" for 185 1, p. 23, Mr. M'Laren suggested the division of C. aquatilh
