PREFACE. 



The present instalment of the Flora differs in some details 

 from that already issued. Thus I have only in a few cases quoted 

 the records of plants from the surrounding counties, and only 

 when such records are of interest. 



I have also omitted the lists of insect-visitors given by Midler 

 and other observers, as it seems to me better to defer such a 

 bibliography of insect visitors till the end of the Flora, always 

 supposing that such a consummation may be eventually attained. 

 I have to thank Miss Hannay for assisting me in this part of the 

 work, which is the most tedious and difficult part of it. All the 

 insects whose names are given have been caught on the flowers 

 mentioned either by Miss Hannay or myself; and I have to express 

 my thanks to Mr Robert Service for naming all the Hymenojitera 

 as well as many of the Diptera, and to Mr E. Brunetti for 

 revising and naming all the Dipterous collection. Unfortunately 

 I was unable this year to return sufficiently early to Dumfriesshire 

 for observation of the violets, wood anemone, and other forms, 

 but the gaps will, I hope, be nlled up at some future time. 



I have again to thank my numerous indefatigable correspon- 

 dents throughout Dumfriesshire and Kirkcudbrit!;ht for their kind
