IV. — Notes oil a Herhariutii collected bij Miss E. G. Adams and 

 Miss S. IJ. Johnston at Cowkill. By G. F. Scott-EllioT, 

 F.L.S. 



I have been permitted to lotjk over this collection of about 

 300 species from the immediate neighbourhood of Cowhill. It is, 

 in fact, a very complete little flora of the district, and, as will be 

 seen from the following- list of the rarer forms, remarkable for the 

 number of interesting plants. Those marked thus * are, I think, 

 new records for the County, and reflect great credit on the 

 finders : — 



Trollius europivus, Linn. — Along the Nith. 

 *Papaver Argemone, Linn. — Holywood Station. 

 Chelidonium majus, Linn. — Near Cowhill. 

 Arabis Thaliana, Linn. — Sandy gravel, Holywood.
