30 Tra)isaclions. 



the famous Glenapp. The shore of Locli Ryan is rather barren 

 in good species of seaside plants, but the glen at Lochryan House, 

 which, by the kind permission of Mr Wallace, I was allowed to 

 visit, is comparatively rich in ferns, flowering plants, and mosses, 

 etc. Here T saw more of Lastroea oreopteris, Polypodium 

 phegopteris and drijopteris (the beech and oak ferns) than I had 

 yet seen in Wigtownshire. The mosses, Pylaisia polyantha, 

 Tricliostomum crisjnilum, /(hijnchostegium tenellum, and Pottia 

 Heimii, were gathered round Cairnryan, while many trees in the 

 glen had their stems almost covered with the lichen Verrucaria 

 nitida. As far as I am awai'e the following -are six new records 

 for Wigtownshire : — Polygala eu-vidgaris, Malva rotundifolia, 

 Agrimonia Eiqmtoria var. odorata, Anthriscus vulgaris, Pers., E. 

 of Stranraer ; Carex pendula, immediately S. of the Ayrshire 

 boundary ; and Carex Icevigata. 



I confirmed Carex remota, Carex Sylvatica, and Melica unijiora 

 for Wigtownshire. 



Other good plants seen were Senehiera coronopus, Helianthemum 

 chamoecistus, Sagina maritiiiui, Sagina nodosa, Hy})ericum 

 androsmmum, in abundance ; Trifolium striatum, three miles S. 

 of Cairnryan ; Ornithopus per^nisillus, Eupatorium cannabimivi, 

 Sonchus asper, Veronica polita and hederce folia, Melampyruin 

 pratense var. Mans, Empetrum nigrum. Orchis latifolia, Hahenaria 

 conopsea and viridis, Eleocharis paucifionis, Carex dioica, Kosleria 

 cristata, in abundance / Bromus asper, and Eqicisetum maximum. 

 I saw Thlaspi arvense in plenty near Dunragit.
