town Bay. This Atriplex occurs in great profusion south of Garlies- 
town. 
15. Lepidium ruderale—Among corn on Penkill farm. 
16. Carex intermedia—In several marshy places round the Isle. 
17. Carex paniculata—Very luxuriant in High Arrow Loch, and in 
a loch north of Cutreoch farm, &c. 
18. Carex teretiuscula—Prestrie Loch, &c. 
19. Carex flava, var. cyperoides (Maisson) 
Pond. 
20. Chara polyacantha—This is an interesting find. Mr Coles found 
it in 1883 on Culdoch Moor, Kelton, Kirkeudbrightshire. It has been 
found elsewhere in Scotland only in Fife and Roxburgh. I found it in 
two lochs near the Isle of Whithorn—in the loch north of Cutreoch 
farm, and in a loch immediately north of Burrowhead. Where the 
water is comparatively shallow, this chara almost entirely covers the 
bottom, and a characteristic of the plant is the way in which it spreads 
out its branches into the deeper water, ‘‘ seeking rest and finding none.” 
Garliestown Curling 
In addition to the above twenty new records, I may name a 
few of the rarer and more characteristic plants of the district. 
Garliestown Bay proved the most fruitful in the variety and 
luxuriance of its vegetation. Here such sea shore plants as Samolus 
valerandi, Carex vulpina, (inanthe Lachenalii, &c., attain a great 
size. Port Yerrick Bay stands second in productiveness. At the 
south end of it I found a large patch of Artemisia maritima. 
Carduus crispus is common, and Sium angustifoliam grows in lochs 
and ditches to the west of the Isle. South of Garliestown, along 
with Atriplex littoralis, var. marina, grows Sueda maritima in 
great profusion. About the Isle I gathered Scrophularia aquatica 
in abundance in Drummullin Burn, running into the milldam, in 
which Chara vulgaris and Potamogeton crispus were found. Crith- 
mum maritimum grows on the rocks about Burrowhead and east 
of the Isle. Ononsis spinosa, Helianthemum vulgare, Genista 
tinctoria, Ulex gallii are frequent. Juncus obtusiflorus and Juncus 
maritimus are found in several places along the shore ; Spergularia 
rupestris near the Isle Cairn ; Statice limonium, var. bahusiensis, 
from Orchardton Bay to Garliestown; and Epilobium hirsutum 
frequent about Garliestown. In Eggerness Wood are found Circcea 
lutetiana, Solidago virga-aurea, Mercurialis perennis, Hippophe 
rhamnoides, Scirpus lacustris, in Palmallet Pond; and Typha 
latifolia in Prestrie Loch. Scolopendrium vulgare grows in plenty 
by the sides of two ditches—one from Penkill Farm to Garlies- 
town Bay, another from Palmallet Pond to the shore. Asplenium 
adiantum nigrum grows on dykes between Garliestown and
