 and called upon Mr. John Thompson of Crow Hall Mill, who went 

 with me to Muckle Moss, and shewed me Carex irrigiia, curta, pauci- 

 Jlora ; there, and on the way, Hieradum lanceolatum (in Winch's 

 station for his H. sabaudum /3), H. molle, etc. We also went up the 

 glen of the Allan near Ridley Hall, and saw Hieradum prenanthdides

 private station.

 lands by Hobble's How. Saw Linnaea in a plantation adjoining 

 the east side of Ravelrig bog, but found no other plants of interest.

Aug. 2. Went to the Show Yard in the park adjoining Brunts- 

 field Links, and had much difiiculty in getting in, from the crowd. 

 A fine show of cattle, but better of men. Dined in the pavilion

 (about 2000 present) ; it went off very well. 



Aug. 5. Left by steamer from Granton at 7 a.m. for Dundee, 

 and on arriving there went on by railway to Arbroath and Forfar, 

 passing Rescobie Loch and the hills of Drumlin (?), both celebrated 

 botanical stations of the late G. Don. Walked from Forfar to Clova 

 in five hours, arriving at 10.30 p.m. at the small inn. 



Aug. 6. Went up Glen Dole, and gathered Sonchus alpinus on 

 rocks in a ravine containing a small waterfall, between the divisions 

 of the fall, on the left-hand side of the glen near the Head ; and 

 Astragalus alpinus on a very steep rock a little further up the glen. 

 Then crossed the summit to the head of Glen Phu, and found Carex 

 aquatilis in plenty. On rocks near the lower end of Glen Phu on 

 the left-hand side (going down) grows Oxytropis.
