upon most of the high mountains, it seems to be not uncommon, 

 and is even plentiful upon Ben Lawers, Ben-y-more, and Ben 

 Nevis, but always upon the rocky summits, and even there of 

 far less frequent occurrence than A. i-upestvis or Rothii. Mr. 

 Turner has also received Irish specimens, gathered both by Mr, 

 Templeton and Mr. Macka3^
