the Sanquhar district by Dr Davidson; while in the Jowrnal of 
Botany for June last year the Messrs Linton record Heiracuim 
Argentewm, Fr., and H. Prenanthoides, Vill., for the Grey Mare’s 
Tail. The Messrs Linton spent four days at Moffat again this 
summer botanising among the Hetracia yrincipally. I accom- 
panied them to Craigmichen Scaurs and Blackshope, and Mr 
Scott-Elliot, who was staying at Moffat at that time, also accoin- 
panied us one day to Spoon Burn and Corrieferron. During this 
visit a number of what I believe will turn out to be new Heiracia 
for Great Britain were gathered, but in a note I had lately from 
Mr E. F. Linton, he says it will be some time before they are 
able to publish the results of their visit, as a number of them 
require to be sent to Dr Lindaberg at Stockholm for examination. 
Ajuga pyramidalis, L., Blackshope, June 17th, 1888, a new 
record for the county at that date, and is the only station and 
very few plants. Among the willows also a few additions can be 
made to the Society’s list. Saliw alba, L., var. Vitellina, L., 
Hydropathic grounds, where it has been planted ; Sala triandra, 
L. var., Annan Water at Putts; Salia Cinera X. nigricans, 
Gudeshaw Wood; Salix phylicifolia, L., Beerholm; 8. nagricans, 
Sm., Blackshope; and 8. Ambigua, Ehsh, Annan Water at 
Putts, Where I have given no name as the authority for a 
plant it has been gathered by myself. In the grasses I have 
nothing new or rare to record, simply because I have not gone in 
for collecting the carices and grasses; and I must express my 
indebtedness to Mr E. F. Linton for examining and naming the 
plants of these two orders I have already by me, and also for 
naming the Hieracia and Salix. And as the genera rubus and 
rosa are also practically untouched, these, along with the grasses, 
&c., will take a lot of working up in the future for any one who 
has got leisure or interest in the matter; indeed, the whole 
district can stand a lot of botanising yet. And in concluding I 
may state that the number of plants now on the list I have made 
up for this district is 446 flowering plants and 41 ferns and 
varieties of ferns, equisetums and club-mosses, all of which, with 
the exception of less than 20, have been reconfirmed for the 
district within the last three years. In fact, specimens of the 
greater number of them can be seen in my own collection,
