Wicrownsuire.—In continuation of former short papers on the 
botany of the three south-western counties of Scotland, and 
especially with respect to new records of plants, I shall very 
briefly sum up the results of my work during July and August of 
1896. The new records for Wigtownshire are—l. Milium effusum, 
Linn., in Wood of Park, Glenluce; 2. Potamogeton lucens, Linn., 
in Whitefield Loch, Glenluce; 3. Mentha sativa, Linn., var. 
paludosa (Sole), Sorbie Burn ; 4. Lathyrus macrorrhizus, Wimm., 
var. tenwifolius, Roth, near Moss Park, Sorbie, by the Rev. 
James Gorrie; 5. Ballota nigra, Linn., Rigg Bay, Garliestown. 
In two stations at the head of Luce Bay I gathered Zhalietrum 
minus, Linn:, var. maritimum, Syme; Ruppia rostellata, Koch, 
was in great abundance in lagoons round the isle of St. Helena, 
Glenluce ; at Glenluce Abbey were Lithospermum officinale, Linn., 
Barbarea precox., R.Br., Verbascwm Thapsus, Linn.; and near the 
Abbey Prunus insititia, Huds. Here I failed to tind Arwm macu- 
latum, Linn., and Parietaria officinalis, Linn. Along the shore 
south of Glenluce grow Galium Mollugo, Linn., Scabiosa arvensis, 
Linn., Carduus tenuiflorus, Curt.; but I failed to find the follow- 
ing plants recorded for the neighbourhood of Glenluce by the 
Rev. George Wilson:— Lobelia Dortmanna, Linn., Galium 
cruciatum, Scop. Teesdalia nudicaulis, R. Br., and Stachys 
Betonica, Benth.  Potamogeton perfoliatus, Linn., grows in 
Whitefield Loch. In Rigg Bay, Garliestown, now grow in 
abundance J/yoscyamus niger, Linn., and Daiura Stramonium, 
Linn. Here also are Beta maritima, Linn., Atriplex littoralis, 
Linn., Atriplex deltoidea, Bab., form marina, Atriplex Babingtonii, 
Woods, var. virescens, Lange, and L’wmex conglomeratus, Murr. - 
KIRKCUDBRIGHTSHIRE.—The following are new records for this 
county :—l. Poa trivialis, Linn,, var. Koelert (DC.); 2. Avena
