Azalea procumbens, Athyrium alpestre, Allosorus crispus (at 
3500 feet), Cerastium trigynum, Carex pulla, Carex vaginata, 
Carex rigida, Cornus suecica, Caltha palustris, Drosera anglica 
and rotundifolia, Epilobium alpinum, Epilobium alsinefolium, 
Gnaphalium supinum, Luzula areuata, Listera cordata, 
Oxyria reniformis, Ranunculus acris, Silene acaulis, Salix 
herbacea, Statice armeria, Solidago Virga-aurea; and two forms 
of Carex, one at least of which was new to the members, were 
found, in addition to the commoner Alpine plants. The day 
was clear; and a very fine view, indeed, of the hills on all sides, 
including Ben Nevis, was enjoyed by the party. The long 
descent to the shooting lodge, where the conveyance had 
been left, was found much more tiring than the ascent, and 
it was past nine o'clock in the evening before the party 
reached the hotel, having had a more than usually hard day’s 
outing. It was therefore decided that the following day, 
Wednesday, the 13th July, should be spent quietly in the 
neighbourhood of Cannich, where Pyrola minor, Drosera 
anglica, Carex curta, Lobelia Dortmanna, Nymphea alba (at 
over 1000 feet), Sibbuldia procumbens were found, in addition 
to which more than one plant of Lustrea montana, var. 
truncata, was found; also a plant of a very curious form 
of this fern, which has not yet received a distinguishing 
name. 
On Thursday, July 14th, an early start was made by 
brake to Benula, fifteen miles distant, up Glen Cannich, in 
order to climb Scuir-na-Lapich ; and as part of the ascent 
led through the forest of Cozac, tenanted by Mr. J. Bradley 
Firth, leave was very kindly granted by this gentleman to 
visit his ground as well. The day was cool and well adapted 
for climbing; but, unfortunately, when nearing the top, it 
came on very misty and cold. The members were accom- 
panied by the head stalker of Benula forest, Mr. Donald 
Finlayson, and his brother, to both of whom the members 
are much indebted for their kind assistance during the day, 
and whose ponies were ridden by Messrs. Boyd and Potts 
over the most difficult part of the ascent. Not far from 
the top the members were fortunate enough to find Arcto- 
staphylos alpina. The following plants were also found :— 
Cornus suecica, Juncus trifidus, Solidago Virga-aurea, Cerastium 
trigynum, Saxifraga aizoides and hypnoides, Silene acaulis
