Channel Islands by Mr. Robert King, among which were:—

pusilla, L., and Riccia glauca, L. 
Mr. Johnston Shearer exhibited, from Lecropt Moss, Stirling- 
shire, Ledwm palustre, L., an ericaceous plant he had previously 
brought before the Society. He had revisited the station for it, 
and had observed that it was now much less plentiful, occasioning 
the fear that the species may ere long become extinct at the 
station. 
A continuation of the paper by Mr. D. A. Boyd at last meeting, 
entitled “ Additional Notes on the Maritime Fauna and Flora of 
the Littoral Zone,” was read, in which the author referred more 
particularly to the plants of the zone in question. 
A paper by Messrs. Richard M‘Kay and John Renwick, 
entitled “Records of Measurements of Trees made in 1893 and 
1894,” was read. (See page 246.)
