476 TRANSACTIONS, NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY OF GLASGOW. 
D. Wilkie, Hon. Secretary, on one to Lanfine, Ayrshire (see 
page 461). 
The Chairman exhibited Zriocaulon septangulare, With., from 
Skye, and Myuriwm Hebridarum, Schp., from Barra; and Mr. 
R. Braithwaite, M.D., M.R.C.S.E., F.L.S., the author of Zhe 
British’ Moss Flora, who was present, made some remarks on 
those plants. 
The Chairman also exhibited Drosera anglica, Huds., var. 
obovata (M. & K.), from Benbecula; Poteriwm Sanguisorba, 
Linn., sent by Mr. A. Gilchrist, Darvel ; and Liliwm chalcedons- 
cum, Linn., with a fasciated stem, sent by Mr. M. Cuthbertson,

Mr. Oswald Fergus, D.D.S., L.D.S., exhibited a plaster cast from

Mr. R. D. Wilkie, Hon. Secretary, exhibited some interesting 
plants from the Propagating Houses at Camphill. 
Mr. John Orr exhibited Sambucus Ebulus, Linn., from Eagles- 
ham. 
Mr. Hugh Boyd Watt read a paper entitled “ Additional

friend, Dr. Braithwaite, wished to work for a few hours in the 
western ravine. 
Juncus trifidus, Linn., was very small this year. Only a very

The Ordnance Ravine was very disappointing ; it seems either to
