Alopecurus agrestis L., recorded from Kettock’s Mill and the 
Inch (D.). . : 
Polypogon monspeliensis Desf. has been obtained from Stonehaven 
by Mr. Roy, probably introduced in ballast. 
Avena flavescens L. is a doubtful native, as its appearances are such 
as to suggest its introduction ameng farm seeds. 
A. sativa and A. strigosa Schreb. are both rather frequent near houses 
and beside roads ; but neither holds its ground a second year. 
Glyceria aquatica Sm. is recorded at Breda, and thence down the 
Don (D.), and has been found at Gight (A. Ogston). 
Bromus arvensis L., B. secalinus L., and B. commutatus Schrad. all 
occur in grass fields, on river banks, and by roadsides ; 
but all seem to be introduced with farm seeds. 
B. rubens L. was sent me by Mr. Tait, gathered from ground at In- 
verurie where esparto grass is spread when first imported. 
Hordeum murinum L. is included among indigenous plants by D., 
but its claims are very questionable. I have a specimen 
from Cults (A. Ogston, 1860). 
Lolium temulentum L. is recorded (D.) from various parts of the 
district ; but I have not met with it. 
L. italicum Braun is very common ip grass fields, having been in- 
troduced for agricultural needs. 
Anthoxanthum Puellii, observed of late years in several districts of 
Britain in grass fields, and may probably be found with us 
also, as an introduction among agricultural seeds. It 
differs from A. odoratum in being smaller and ani.ual, and 
in some mincr structural details of the spikelets; in other 
respects they are much alike. A. Puelii is described in 
the Feb. ‘‘ Journal of Botany,” 1884.
