100 Mr Syiiiiugfcoii G-rieve o)i the 



this locality, it is possible that here we may discover traces 

 of the earliest migration of plants from what is now the 

 European Continent. 



75. Ayr. — In the list of the flora of this large and in- 

 teresting county 645 plants have been recorded. 



76. Renfrew. — In this county, a district less than one- 

 third the area of Ayrshire, 597 plants are recorded. 



77. Lanark. — This is a large county, with elevations 

 ranging from sea-level to over 2400 feet, and the plants 

 that have been noted number 648. 



78. Peebles. — Ten years ago hardly a plant was noted in 

 this county, now we have 321 recorded, but this is only a 

 beginning. The highest elevation appears to be a little 

 over 2450 feet. 



79. Selkirk. — Another interesting county, with high 

 hills, that has been little worked, for only 447 plants 

 have been recorded. 



80. Roxburgh. ■ — This large border county, with con- 

 siderable elevations, has been better worked than some 

 others, as 607 plants have been noted. 



81. Berwick. — This county is less in size than Roxburgh, 

 and no elevations are above 1540 feet, but the record of 

 its flora shows that it has been better worked, as Mr Watson 

 gives 716 plants. 



82. Haddington. — Another maritime county near our 

 doors which needs attention, as only 581 plants have been 

 recorded. The highest hill in this county appears to have 

 a height of 1732 feet. 



83. Edinburgh. — The flora of our home county has been 

 well worked, with the result that we have recorded in it 

 766 plants. The highest elevation is about 1890 feet. 



84. Linlithgoio. — This is a small county, without any 

 great elevations, but certain districts have a rich flora. 

 However, only 466 plants have been noted. 



85. Fife and Kinross. — These two counties, which 

 Mr Watson has formed into one vice-county, have been well 

 examined for plants, with the result that 785 have been 

 recorded. The highest elevation in this district is the West 

 Lomond Hill, with a height of 1713 feet. 



86. Stirling. — This is a county, with elevations from the 

 sea-level up to 3192 feet, and we would expect to find a
