Centunculus minimus L. 100. Near Quien Loch, in small 

 quantity ; and locally plentiful on the west side of Loch Fad. 



(J-entiana haltica Murb. 100." Grassy shore near the landing- 

 place, Lochranza ; it was very scarce last year. 



Euphrasia borealis Towns. 100.* Common near Rothesay. — 

 E. brei-ipila Burnat & Gremli. 100." Coast from Lochranza to 

 Catacol Bay, in profusion ; ■■'E. scottica Wettst. also occurred. — 

 E. (jracilis Fr. 98. Abundant up to 2000 ft. on the ascent to Ben 

 Arthur; a decidedly hispid form, which I have seen on several of 

 the West Surrey heaths, as well as about Aviemore, &c. — E. stricta 

 Host. 100.='' Locally plentiful on the stony western shore of Loch 

 Fad, where it was much infested by an orange-coloured fungus.

 Inveraray. 99. Arrochar. 



^^i Atriplex Babinr/tonii Woods. 98. Abundant at Inveraray. 99. 

 Shore of Loch Long, Arrochar ; var. virescens Lange, I believe. — 

 A. ? 100. In the loose sand of Scalpsie Bay we found abundance 

 of a pretty plant with strongly muricate fruit, which I consider to 

 be distinct from A. Babiw/tonii, and identical with immature speci- 

 mens gathered in 1897 near Golspie, East Sutherland ; these were 

 referred by Herr Freyn (with some doubt) to A. calotheca Fr., a 

 species which I do not know.

Spanjanium ajine Schnizl. 98. Pool in the ravine between Ben
