Tue following information, relating to the Flora of the West of 
Scotland, was compiled by members of this Society for the 
Committee appointed by the British Association to investigate 
the causes which have led to the total or partial disappearance of 
native plants from their known habitats. It was included in the 
Report submitted by the Committee at the Meeting of the British 
Association held at Edinburgh in 1892.* 
The number prefixed to the name of each species corresponds 
with the enumeration in the London Catalogue of British Plants 
(Eighth Edition, 1886), and the nomenclature and general arrange- 
ment of that list have been followed throughout.
