trict; lists compiled by the late Mr James Cmickshank ; and 

 from Cryptogams given in the Moffat Guide Book. Some of the 

 species in these lists require re-confirmation. Doubtful species 

 have been referred for determination to the Rev. John Fergusson, 

 Manse of Fern, and to Henry Boswell, Esq., Oxford. I shall 

 welcome any help given to enlarge the present lists. Mr Joseph 

 AVilson, Windygates, Fife, the late secretary of our Society, also 

 collected a number of mosses, &c., around Dumfries, but I regret 

 that I have not kept any record of names and localities. — Oct., i8go. 



I have botanized very little in Kirkcudbrightshire during the past 

 summer (1888), but two days' work has enabled me to add the 

 following new records for the County : 



1. Equisetum maximum — in great abundance in damp places 

 along the shore from Carsluith to Ravenshall. 



2. The three forms or varieties o{ Arctium lappa, L. (Burdock) 

 — along the same shore. The forms are Arctium intermedium, 

 Arctium minus, and Arctium majus, and a peculiar form Arctium 

 mitius, which may almost be named var. subtomentosus. 



3. Atripkx littoralis, var. marina — along the same shore. 



4. Hordeum pratense — In abundance along the R. Urr, south 

 of Dalbeattie harbour. 



5. Schlerochloa distans — by side of R. Urr, opposite the farm 

 of Little Richorn, south of Dalbeattie.
