* Potamogeton pectinatus, L. — Rare. Forth and 

 Clyde Canal at Bowling. 



Carex dioica, L. — Boggy ground in various places 

 on the Kilpatrick Hills ; above Kilpatrick, and above 

 Hardgate, Duntocher. 



Carex pauciflora, Lightf. — Plentiful on the moor 

 north-west of Cochno Loch, and at the east end 

 of Loch Humphrey. Kennedy records it for " near 

 Glasgow," but does not indica'te the precise locality. 



* Carex disticha, Huds. — In a ditch between 

 Dalmuir Burn and Kilpatrick, on ground reclaimed 

 from the tidal action of the river. The plant was 

 still there last summer, but will probably disappear 

 when the ditch dries up. 



Carex irrigua, Hoppe. — This rare sedge is found in 

 nearly all the stagnant pools tilled with Sphagnum 

 on the Kilpatrick Hills, from Loch Humphrey 

 south-eastward along the centre of the range to its 

 termination, Vjut very sparingly on the north side of 

 the hills. I have never found it in running 

 w^ater, or in the deeper pools where Sphagnum 

 acutifolium commonly grows, but always among the 

 more elevated masses of .S\ cymbifolium. These the 

 sedge penetrates with its running roots, and throws 

 up its stems, each bearing three drooping spikelets 

 of female flowers. 



Carex lirnosa, L. — Kennedy records this plant for 

 " marshes at Bowling," on the authority of the late 

 Mr. William Gourlie ; but if the marshes referred to 

 are those on the hills, C. irrigua must undoubtedly 

 have been the plant indicated. 1 have never seen C. 

 limosa about Bowling, either on the low ground or 

 among the hills. 



Melica nutans, L. — Auchentorlie Woods, Bowling. 



Cryptogramnie crispa, Br. — Rather plentiful on 

 Buncombe, Kilpatrick Hills. Recorded for "Kil- 

 patrick Hills" in the Fauna and Flora, but no 

 particular station is indicated. 



Isoetes lacustris, L.— Two specimens were found in 

 Lily Loch, Kilpatrick Hills, and thei'e can be no
