56 TRANSACTIONS, NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY OF GLASGOW. 



near Daliburg, we came on Eryngium maritimum, L., 

 which, notwithstanding its conspicuous appearance, 

 had not been noticed by Balfour and Babington. 



During my stay in the Outer Hebrides, compara- 

 tively short though it was, I succeeded, by the aid 

 of the marked list referred to, in obtaining some 49 

 species of vascular plants not previously known to 

 occur in these islands. 



To these species I might more particularly refer 

 but for the fact that Mr. Bennett has been so good 

 as to write a short paper on them.* I will not, 

 therefore, do more here than express warm thanks 

 to that gentleman for his kindness in render- 

 ing the aid he did in carefully comparing and 

 determining, immediately on receipt of them, the 

 plants which were sent to him, and in his having 

 drawn up the paper alluded to, which cannot but 

 prove a valuable contribution to the Transactions of 

 the session.
