making as complete a list of the plants of West Galloway as 
possible, I need no apology for again laying before you some addi- 
tional information on the Flora of our neighbouring county. 
Though much yet requires to be done towards the compilation of a 
full list of Wigtownshire plants, yet I am happy to say that 
material for this purpose is yearly accumulating ; and if the infor- 
mation at present available for this purpose were utilised and 
catalogued, it would present a very respectable Flora of Wigtown- 
shire. 
During last July and August (1889) I spent a few weeks at 
the Isle of Whithorn and Garliestown—places in Wigtownshire I 
had not formerly visited. I botanised almost the whole seaboard 
from Burrowhead to Orchardton Bay, besides extending my walks 
several miles inland. The Isle of Whithorn affords to visitors 
quietness and bracing sea air; while Garliestown, from its situa- 
tion at the head of its bay, and from the wooded nature of its 
vicinity, does not possess such bracing air, though it has numerous 
compensating advantages. Many of the fields in the south of the 
Machars have “scraggy knowes” where the common wild plants 
luxuriate undisturbed. In the hollows between these ridges are 
many small lochs containing aquatic plants, almost each loch having 
its own distinctive vegetation. The Flora of the south of the 
Machars is entirely lowland. 
The following plants are new records for Wigtownshire : 
1, Thlaspi Arvense—In abundance in some fields between the Isle 
of Whithorn and the Gamekeeper’s Cottage. 
2. Allium Vineale—In plenty all along the heughs between Cruggle- 
ton Castle and Port Allan. 
3. Ranunculus Sceleratus and 4, Valerianella Olitoria—Both rare, 
at Port Yerrick. 
5. Medicago Lupulina—In abundance on the roadsides, in fields, 
and in waste places all along the shore from Orchardton Bay southwards. 
6. Astragalus Hypoglottis—About Burrowhead, and in greater 
plenty and in fruit on the grassy heughs east of the Isle.
