IV. Remarks on the recent Additions to the Flora of Dumfries- 
shire and Galloway. By Mr F. R. Cores. (Abstract.) 
This paper dealt with such records of new stations and of new 
species as were strictly additional to those given in the “Flora” 
compiled by Mr M‘Andrew in 1882. 
Approximately, 120 new stations for plants of such uncommon 
occurrence as—Ligusticwm scoticum, Valeriana dioica, Galium 
erucuatum, Campanula latifolia, Pyrola minor and P. secunda, 
Scrophularia Balbisii, Orobanche major, Lycopus Luropeus, 
Utricularia intermedia and U. minor, Epipactis latifolia, Listera 
cordata, Typha latifolia, and Cladiwm mariscus were recorded. 
The following list comprises all the authentic new species :— 
Under Ranunculus aquatilis, which, in the Stewartry, at anyrate, 
is a frequent inhabitant of slow streams, ponds, lochs, and 
marshes, we have &. peltatus var. truncatus and var. floribundus, 
f. diversifolius var. Godronii, R. Drouetti, R. trichophyllus, and 
the, variety of R. peltatus known as fissifolius. 
With the addition of Cochlearia anglica near Creetown : 
C. danica at Colvend ; the vars. littoralis and alpina in Borgue 
and Shinnel Burn districts respectively, the entire group of the 
Scurvy grasses is represented. 
Among Violacee, the substitution of the V. sylvatica (Fries.) 
as the correct name of the plant recorded as canina, and generally 
so-called, led to the establishment of its sub-species, Jlavicornis 
(Forst.) and Riviniana, which, though a real gain of two new 
plants, set us a-hunting for the true Linnean V. canina. Mr 
Coles was fortunate enough to find a few specimens of this much 
rarer species on the banks of the Dee below Threave. Polygala 
depressa is frequent on the coast of Kirkcudbright. 
Of Caryophyllaceous plants, there were only two to notice 
Cerastiwm semidecandrum, found by Rev. J. Fraser in Colvend, 
and the rare annual form pentandrum of C. triviale, found by 
Mr Coles at Ravenshall. A very interesting discovery was made 
on an excursion by Messrs M‘Andrew and Coles among the 
Carsphairn hills, where, in a mossy old ditch, some 1800 or 1900 
feet high, specimens of the var. integrifolia of Saxifraga stellaris 
were collected, a form hitherto known only on Ben Wyvis. 
Of the genus Callitriche, we now had C. platycarpa (Kiitz.), 
stagnalis (Scop.), hamulata (Kiitz.), and autwmnalis, L. in Kirk-
