BOTANICAL NOTES FROM GALLOWAY FoR 1897-98. 321 
In connection with the British Association’s visit to Glasgow 
in 1901, Mr, Ord was placed on the Botanical Committee for 
Phanerogams, and on the Zoological Committee for Macro- 
Lepidoptera, Tipulide, and Aphid. 
Mr. Ord was a wide reader, and, having a retentive memory 
and a clear head, his knowledge was accurate and his judg- 
ment sound. Frank and unselfish to a degree, he had many 
friends in public and private life, and his large heart and 
sympathies made him ever ready to respond to the call of the less 
fortunate. A lovable companion and a faithful friend, may his 
memory ever remain green !

Botanical Notes from Galloway for 1897-98. 
By James M‘Anprew, New Galloway. 
[Read 29th November, 1898. ] 
Tue three South-Western counties of Scotland have now been so 
extensively botanized that comparatively few Flowering Plants 
must remain to be recorded. It follows, therefore, that my new 
records for Kirkcudbrightshire and Wigtownshire for 1897-8 are 
almost nil. In July, 1897, around Auchencairn, on the Solway 
Firth, I found Potertwm officinale, Hook. ; Sagina maritima, 
Don; Ononis spinosa, Linn.; Galiwm Cruciata, Scop.; Juncus 
maritimus, Lam. In Redhaven Bay I gathered Teesdalia nudi- 
caulis, R. Br.; Filago minima, Fr.; Filago germanica, Linn. ; and 
Erodium cicutarium, L’Hérit. About Bay View grow two rare 
plants, Lepturus filiformis, Trin., which also grows in plenty 
along the River Urr, south of Palnackie; and Blysmus Caricis, 
Retz., which I also found in 1896 at the mouth of the Kirkbean 
Burn. Along the west side of Auchencairn Bay are Carex extensa, 
Good.; C. vulpina, Linn.; C’. muricata, Linn,; C. disticha, Huds. ; 
and C’. sylvatica, Huds.; and the grasses Miliwm effusum, Linn, : 
Trisetum pratense, Pers. (=Avena flavescens, Beauv.); and Zostera 
marina, Linn., in abundance on the muddy shore. Other
