have, meant the same plant as he did. Sanssaurea A/pina, D.C., 

 has at least three stations in the district, one of them being in 

 Blackshope. Hieracium jmllithim I gathered two years ago at 

 Craigmichen Scaurs, and Hieracium Iricum, Fr., Blackshope, 

 Grey Mare's Tail, &c., was gathered by the Messrs Linton last 

 summer as it had formei-ly been by Mr J. Backhouse (see mono- 

 graph). The Pyrolas media, Swartz, and minor, L., are fairly 

 common in our linns. While I know only one station for the 

 rare Pyrola secunda, L., which I gathered in flower at the end of 

 June this year for the iirst time, at a new station between 8 and 

 9 miles distant from any of its previous recorded stations, at 

 wliich places it is not now to be found. Myosotis ctespitosa, 

 Schultz, common in all the springy places on the hills and damp 

 roadsides. Stachys hetonica, Benth., I only gathered on Septem- 

 ber 7th for the first time, also at a new station. There would be 

 less than a dozen plants of it growing at this place, and it is not 

 now found at its previous recorded stations. Polygonum vivi- 

 paritm, L., rocks at Loch Skene, where it wns gathered by Mr 

 Scott-Elliot in the month of July this summer. Oxyria reniformus, 

 Hook, one of the commonest plants in Blackshope, Corrieferron, 

 Grey Mare's Tail. I note that in the Society list this plant is 

 favoured with four different authorities ; while this plant, along 

 with polygonum viviparum, are claimed as new records for 

 Dumfries in 1888. (See proceedings of the Botanical Society for 

 1888 ; notes on the records of Scottish plants for 1888, by A. 

 Bennet, Esq.) Car ex Atrata, L., and Car ex Capillaris, L. — these 

 rare Carices were re-discovered by Mr Linton near Loch Skene 

 in July this year. I observed Atrnta at the same place in 

 September, but Capillaris had seemingly died down, as I did not 

 see it. Car ex Eigida, very common on the very top of Hartfell. 

 Of plants found here which have no station given in the Society 

 list from liere are such plants as : — Fumaria Capreolata and F. 

 Officinalis, corn fields and waste ground ; Corydalis claviculata, 

 D.C., common in woods ; Silene injlata, Sm., railway embank- 

 ment and at Hunterheck ; Lychnis Vespertina, railway embank- 

 ment ; Sagina nodos i, Meyer, Craigmichen Scaurs. — Geranium 

 Lucidum, L., found growing on rocks at the Deil's Beef Tub — 

 the specimens gathered there are very small ; it also occurs on 

 the Selkirk roadside, nearly 3^ miles from Moflfat. Ulex Gallii,
