The Chairman reported on a three days’ visit which he had 
made to Ben Lawers in July. Vegetation was behind, and 
plants in flower seemed as if they had reached this condition 
prematurely. The great cold of June, and the correspondingly 
great heat of July, might account for this. Draba rupestris, 
R. Br., was plentiful and in good flower. Plants of Saaifraga 
cernua, Linn,, were fairly numerous, but most of them were 
small. Erigeron alpinum, Linn., Veronica saxatilis, Linn., 
Arenaria sulcata, Schlecht, Arenaria sedoides, Schultz, Draba 
inflata (=LErophila vulgaris, DC.) were among those in fair 
flower, while the Hieracia and a few other Composites, and all 
the Alpine Carices and Grasses, were in a very backward 
condition. A few plants of Woodsia hyperborea, R. Br., were 
seen, and the two patches of Cystopteris montana, Bernh., seem 
no less than on former occasions. The plants mentioned here- 
after were all exhibited at the meeting :—Sagina Linnet, Presl.,
