THE NATURALIST. 



cairn of stones there was a perfect 

 cushion of Tricliostomum, as soft 

 as any Turkey carpet. It seldom 

 fruits, however, at such an altitude. 

 The clouds gathering in Glen Fal- 

 loch, and coming along at race-horse 

 speed, warned me to descend, and 

 I had hardly gone down many yards 

 before I saw the whole summit 

 shrouded in dense cloud. During 

 the descent, I saw patches of the 

 Dwarf Juniper and Cowberry (Vacci- 

 nium Vitis-Idcea ) , ripening their 

 berries for the grouse. Twilight 

 soon came on, and the Nightjar 

 ( Caprimulgus Earopceus) began to 

 utter his purring notes in the fir 

 plantings below, and the Grasshop- 

 per Warbler (Sylvia LocustellaJ his 

 cricket-like notes in the fenny copses. 

 I was glad to get back safe again 

 to Inversnaid.^ — Peter Inchbald,
