Luce is a locality unusually rich in interesting plants, of which 

 I hope it shall not be denuded by being made more publicly 

 known. 



The blending of northern and. southern species of plants 

 appears to me to be very interesting. I have found the same fact 

 in examining the MoUusca. 



I have paid little attention to the Jungermanese, Mosses, and 

 Lichens. But I have pleasure in sending you a small collection 

 given me many years ago by the late Rev. Thos. B. Bell, of 

 Leswalt Free Church, marked by himself and the late Dr 

 Greville, of Edinburgh. I have paid little attention to the 

 Algse and Confervse. In fresh water springs I have found 

 Batracho-spermum atre and monileforme. The latter is very 

 plentiful in the stony bed of the streams, which drains the great 

 Loch of Mochrum. The variety of plants implies variety of 

 insect life. 



In an appendix are given lists of plants found here by some 

 distinguished botanists.
