trict; lists compiled by the late Mr James Cruickshank; and 
from Cryptogams given in the Moffat Guide Book. Some of the 
species in these lists require re-confirmation. Doubtful species 
have been referred for determination to the Rev. John Fergusson, 
Manse of Fern, and to Henry Boswell, Esq., Oxford. 1 shall 
welcome any help given to enlarge the present lists. Mr Joseph 
Wilson, Windygates, Fife, the late secretary of our Society, also 
collected a number of mosses, &c., around Dumfries, but I regret 
that I have not kept any record of names and localities.—Oc¢., 78go. 
Thave botanized very little in Kirkeudbrightshire during the past 
summer (1888), but two days’ work has enabled me to add the 
following new records for the County : 
1. Lguisetum maximum—in great abundance in damp places 
along the shore from Carsluith to Ravenshall. 
2. The three forms or varieties of Arctium lappa, L. ( Burdock) 
—along the same shore. The forms are Arctium intermedium, 
Arctium minus, and Arctium majus, and a peculiar form Arctium 
minus, which may almost be named var. subtomentosus. 
3. Ailriplex littoralis, var. marina—along the same shore. 
4. Hordeum pratense—In abundance along the R. Urr, south 
of Dalbeattie harbour. 
5. Schlerochloa distans—by side of R. Urr, opposite the farm 
of Little Richorn, south of Dalbeattie.
