The Fidge, Swanbister (Dr Boswell). The plant I 
have from where bog, Myrkaday, enters the sea is, 
I think, this. It is given in Watson's “ Florula 
Orcadensis” on the authority of Syme. I sent a 
plant to Mr Ar. Bennett, which I took to be this. He 
wrote :—“ The Scirpus does look like wniglwmis, but 
it is hardly in good fruit condition to be sure.”
