Githago segetwm I have yet seen. The variety Aiviniana of the 
wood violet is very common, but Viola canina has not been 
found. 
The wood stitchwort Stellaria nemorum, generally a somewhat 
rare plant, grows plentifully in the woods from Auldgirth to 
Drumlanrig ; and the rare Sagina nodosa favours only the Pass 
of Dalveen. 
Geranium sylvaticum, though generally twice as rare as G, 
pratense, is in all Nithsdale very common; while G. pratense 
is comparatively rare. The shining crane’s-bill, G. Jucidwm, given 
in the Flora as an escape, grows in Clauchrie Glen and Cample, 
on rocky, not easily accessible, spots, and may be considered 
undoubtedly indigenous; in some other places it is, however, 
not so. 
The pretty Genista tinctoria we found in two localities only, 
Scaur Water and Campleslacks, and the Genista anglica only at 
the New Loch, Thornhill. Ulex Galli, Mr Fingland observed 
this season near the Brow Well, Dumfries. Vicia Orobus, 
recorded in the Flora Scotica as growing near Sanquhar, has been 
found abundant in Euchan Glen; and in the valley of the 
Crawick, on the opposite side of the Nith, a large patch of the 
beautifully pencilled vetch V. sylvatica was found. For Rubus 
Chamemorus, R., saxatilis, and Saxifraga hypnoides many new 
localities could be given. The pretty starry Saxifrage, Saxifraga 
stellaris, grows in bright profusion on the Caple at Queensberry ; 
in a few places in Clauchrie Glen S. granulata was discovered. 
Chrysosplenium alternifolium and Sedum villosum are both more 
common than might be supposed. Among the epilobes Z£. 
angustifoliwm as an escape grows in abundance near Sanquhar, 
and in a few places on the hills of Dalveen and Cample. JZ. 
hirsutum is, however, rare, being only found in two places near 
Thornhill. Friars’ Carse marks the northern limit of a good few 
plants, such as Lythrum Salicaria, Cicuta virosa, Lysimachia 
vulgaris, Scutellaria galericulata, and Solanwm dulcamara. For 
Helosciadium inundatum and Gnanthe crocata a good few new 
habitats have been allotted, the latter being in many parts some- 
what common, while Zthusa Cynapiwm and Daucus Carota can 
only claim two localities each north of Auldgirth. The common 
hemlock Mr Fingland found this year at Carlaverock and Loch- 
maben, but was in neither place abundant. In the Drumlanrig 
and Sanquhar woods the Viburnwm Opulus is frequently to be
