PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY. 463 
was in fine condition; S. nivalis, Fr., was a pleasant sight, and 
it is many years since Mr. Ewing last saw such large plants. 
He has no doubt it is overlooked. Rubus Chamemorus, Linn., 
was in flower, which seldom happens in July. It seems strange 
that the late Dr. F. B. White had only seen Hieracium 
holosericeum, Backh., in company with Mr Ewing on Sgiath 
Chrom and Stuc-a-chroin. It is a common plant all along the 
Breadalbane range, but as a rule leaves the rocks, and prefers 
the dry heathery knolls. H. chrysanthwm, Backh., is not given 
in the Flora of Perthshire for Meal Ghaordie, although Mr. 
Ewing had collected it there in company with Dr. White. 
Loiseleurta procumbens, Desv., is a common plant all over the 
Breadalbane range, but is seldom seen in flower. Regarding 
Pyrola rotundifolia, Linn., the Flora of Perthshire says :— 
“Often confounded with P. media, the following stations are 
beyond doubt—Ben Laoigh, P. Ewing; Dunkeld, J. G. Lyon.” 
Though rarely found in flower, the plant itself is not rare 
among the higher rocks. Carex filiformis, Linn., is a rare 
Perthshire plant, as far as Mr. Ewing can judge from his own 
experience. Tetraplodon mmnioides, B. and S., showing the bone 
on which it was growing, and Aulacomniwm tuwrgidum, Schwer., 
were also exhibited. 
Mr. R. Hedger Wallace’s paper on “ Agricultural Zoology in 
Great Britain ” was held as read.
