There are thus 18 species certainly found in the Faroes which are 

 not recorded as British — though, as above indicated, a few may have 

 been passed over in this country, as they would by many botanists 

 not be distinguished as species. 



A list of the plants of the Shetland Isles was published in this 

 Journal in 1866 (pp. 2-15), the author being Mr. E,. Tate. In this 

 list 364 species are enumerated, and 14 marked varieties. A verv 

 few have since been added. In this paper a comparison is instituted 

 between the floras of the two island groups, but from Martins' list 

 being apparently used for that of the Faroes, the data are not quite 

 accurate. The plants of the Orkneys are enumerated by Mr. H. C. 

 Watson in the volume for 1864, pp. 11-20.
