On the roadside and in the woods one was struck with the great 
number of ant-hills—the work, probably, of Formica rufa, L. 
The lively little inhabitants were wandering about in all directions, 
and more than one member of the party suffered from their 
inquisitiveness. Lepidoptera and hemiptera were scarce, but the

ARROCHAR HILLS. 
In search of fresh ground for their Alpine excursions the Society, 
on 18th July, 1891, selected Ben Ime (3,318 feet), a hill lying to 
the north of the ‘‘ Cobbler,” of whose flora there were no records, 
as worthy of attack. The party proceeded by Loch Lomond to 
Tarbet, and thence to the head of Loch Long, from which the 
ascent was made. At Tarbet rain began to fall heavily, and 
continued till the excursionists were some way up the hill. The 
mist then cleared, and the remainder of the climb was made under 
more favourable circumstances. The route taken followed the 
course of the Allt-a-Bhalachain, a typical mountain torrent. The 
watershed to the north of the “Cobbler” was reached, and from 
that a long grassy slope led to the cairn on the summit of Ben 
Ime. Here a magnificent view of the surrounding country was 
got, notwithstanding the somewhat unfavourable atmospheric 
conditions. The descent was made by the course of the Allt- 
Coiregrogan into Glen Luing, which opens up into the head of
