306 Notes on the Hepatic.'E and Mosses. 



Notes on the Hepatic^ and Mosses of the Three South- 

 western Counties of Scotland. By James M'Andrew, 

 Edinburgh. 



The Botanical Society of Edinburgh a few months ago pub- 

 li.shed as Vol. XXV. of their Transactions an excellent and 

 exhausti\"e work of 336 pages on " The Distribution of Hepaticse 

 in Scotland," by Mr Symers M. Macvicar of Invermoidart, 

 Acharacle, Argyllshire. As this volume may not be accessible 

 to all the members of the Dumfries and Galloway Natural 

 History and Antiquarian Society, I, with Mr Macvicar's kind 

 consent, have copied out from that volume the following new 

 and rare Hepaticae occurring in the three south-we.stern counties 

 of Scotland. The following list, though not claiming any originality 

 on my part, may prove interesting to some of your members, and 

 at the same time bring my former lists of Hepaticje in No. 7 

 (1887-90) and of October, 1901, as far as pos.sible up to date. 

 Abbreviations are as follow: — (1) Symers M. Macvicar; (2) 

 Peter Ewing; (3) Miss Macvicar; (4) James M'Andrew.
