148 ARGYLLSHIRE EXCURSIONS. 
was observed. The parsley fern (Czxyptogramme crispa, Br.) was 
found growing plentifully on the south side of the summit. In the 
same locality the rare Vaccinium uliginosum, L., was found plentiful. 
The most interesting finds among the mosses were:—AHyocomium 
Jragellare, B. and S., Entosthodon ericetorum, De Not., Hetero- 
cladium heteropterum, Bank., and Pottia Heimii, Firnr. 
The 25th May, 1905, saw the Society once more investigating 
the hills of this part of Argyllshire, and once more the weather 
conditions were unfavourable. In the early portion of the day 
there were a few blinks of sunshine, but afterwards rain fell more 
or less throughout the day, and, as mist came down on the hills, 
it was deemed advisable to confine attention to the “ Cobbler,” 
leaving out Ben Ime, whose lower slopes were visible only once 
during a break in the mist. The route followed was up the lower 
slopes of Ben Narnain to the corrie between that hill and the 
“Cobbler,” and thence to the summit of the latter. The return 
journey was made down the course of the Allt-a-Bhalachain. The 
hill climbers confined their attention mainly to the botanical 
features, At an elevation of 800 feet a fine bank of Anfennaria 
dioica, Geertn., was found in flower, and in the gorge of the 
Allt-a-Bhalachain Sanicula europea, L., and Lathyrus macrorr- 
hizus, Wimm., were very luxuriant. Rubus Chamemorus, L., was 
got at 2,200 feet. At 2,500 feet Hymenophyllum unilaterale, 
Willd., and Lycopodium alpinum, L., were seen. Some flowers of 
Cailtha palustris, L., at this elevation seemed to have their beauty 
enhanced by their position. Salix herbacea, L., was seen coming 
into leaf near the summit of the mountain. In coming down 
from Ben Narnain a bush of Juniperus communis, L., var. nana, 
Willd., was found, thus extending the range of this shrub.
