MEETING OF THE SOCIETY, 
Thursday, April 13, 1905. 
Professor I. Baytey Baurour, President, in the Chair. 
Dr. A. W. BorTHWIcK gave notice of a motion regarding 
the time of meeting of the Society during the winter session. 
Mr, WILLIAM YouNG read a paper on the “ Hepatics of 
Glenshee.” 
THe Hepatics OF THE GLENSHEE District. By WILLIAM 
YOUNG. 
This paper contains the results of a week spent in Glenshee 
in the month of July 1904 for the purpose of working up the 
hepatic flora, and, if possible, adding to the records of their 
distribution at present being collected by Mr. Symers M. 
Maevicar. I am much indebted to him for examining and

to add 12 new records of species and varieties for East Perth- 
shire—vice-county, 89; 6 for Forfarshire—yv.-c.,90; and 5 for 
South Aberdeenshire—v.-c., 92. 
One of the records for v.c. 89 was also new to Scotland. 
This was Cephaloziella Jackii (Limpr.) It is only a few years 
since it was discovered in Britain, as Spruce in his mono- 
graph of “Cephalozia,” published in 1882, gives no British 
station forit. Cooke’s “ Handbook” of 1894 does not mention it. 
Lett, however, in 1904 quotes it from three provinces—Corn- 
wall, the Mersey, and the Lake Districts. It was gathered at 
the head of Glen Beag among the roots of a juniper bush grow- 
ing by the side of a boulder. When returning the specimen 
Mr. Maevicar wrote me: “As it is an addition to Scotland,
