26 Transactions. 



I was fortunately assisted l)y Messrs R. Hogg and W. Paterson, 

 from Kilmarnock. Botanizing along the top of the heughs is 

 dangerous work, but along the Mull head and further north on 

 the west coast we confirmed the existence of Euphorbia Port- 

 landica, C'rithmicm maritimum, Statice binervosa, vars. occidentalis 

 and intermedia, not growing like the common Statice, on sand 

 and mud flats, but on the tops and the sides of the cliffs. 

 Inula crithmoides, Scirpus Savii (common), Mertensia maritima. 

 Astragalus hypoglottis, very plentiful on the west coast ; and 

 Oxytropis uralensis in severed places. I failed to find the 

 following plants once recorded from that district: — Atriplex 

 portulacoides, Apium graveolens, Brassica vionensis, Malaxis 

 pahidosa, and Ononis reclinata. Concerning the last-mentioned 

 plant, of which the only British station is on the farm of Cardrain, 

 north of the Mull of Galloway, I may state that it has not been 

 seen there for many years, though it has been repeatedly and 

 carefully looked for. The farmer was unable to say where the 

 plant grew. Frequent landslips may account for its disappear- 

 ance. It was discovei'ed here in 1835 by Professor Graham, who 

 found it on debris at the foot of tlie cliffs. 



In continuation of the list of new records, I add the following 

 from the neighbourhood of Drummore : — 20, Polygala vulgaris, 

 var. oxyptera, on a bank facing the sea at Drummore (this var. 

 lias been found in Scotland before only near Stirling) ; 21, Chara 

 contraria, on the west coast, north of Mull of Galloway ; 22, 

 Sagina maritima, var. densa, at the south end of West Tarbert ; 

 23, Bromus asper, Grennan wood and south of Maryport; 24, 

 Bromus arvensis, south of Drummore Quay ; 25, Listera cordata, 

 in Shanks Moor and East Tarbert; 26, Erythrcea centauriuw, var. 

 pseudo latifolia, var. cajjitata (Koch), on the west coast in 

 abundance ; 27, Cerastium semidecandrum, south of Drummore ; 

 28, J'rifolium striatum, south of Drummore in abundance ; 29, 

 Vicia lathyroides, south of Drummore, in fields ; 30, Mentha 

 aquatica, var. sub-glabra, Ardwell Mill 1 'am ; 31, Bidens tripar- 

 tita, Ardwell Mill Dam ; 32, Geraoiium pratense, High Drum- 

 more ; 33 Spergularia saliiui, var. media. Port Logan Quay. 



In addition to the above new records, I may include the 

 following new Brambles and Roses, gathered in Wigtownshire in 

 1889 by Mr Charles Bailey, Manchester: — Rubus rhainnijolius, 

 Bubus umbrosus, and Rubus Sprengelii. The last was gathered
