RECORDS OF EXCURSIONS IN AYRSHIRE. 45 



Amongst the other plants detected were Cardamine amara, 

 Lysimachia nemorum, Geranium sylvaticum, Senecio saracenicus, 

 Asperula odorota, Melica uniflora, Milium effusmn, and the tender 

 fronds of Cy stopfer is fragilis, which generally selects the shelter of 

 some overhanging cliff for its habitat. Where the glen begins to 

 debouch on the open plain, a magnificent display of broom in 

 fine flower was observed. 



Thus far we have occasion to congratulate ourselves on 

 successful "raids" into Ayrshire. But we have by no means 

 exhausted the geological, physiographical, or natural history 

 resources, or antiquities of this large western shire, and much 

 interesting ground still remains to traverse and explore.
