Pteris aquilina, Linn. Sparingly in a few spots. From the 

 description given of a fern bj' one of the islanders, which, 

 he said, once thickly covered portions of Tory and grew 

 three or four feet high, I am led to think it must have 

 been Pteris a(juilina. The turf has been cut away off 

 a great i^art of Tory for fuel, and Pteris and many other 

 plants have thus probably become very rare, or been 

 extirpated altogether. 



Blechnum horaile, Sw. A single plant gathered in a deserted 

 rabbit-hole on the Doon by Mr. A. Webb. 



Asplenium marinum, Linn. Common. 



Athgrium Filix-fccmina, Roth. Only in the Rams Hollow.

 holes on the Doon.
