and is a minute plant, I sent a piece to Mr. Pearson, who has 
confirmed my naming, so that you may be at ease about it 
being correct. It is a nice addition to our flora.” It has 
since been gathered by Miss Macvicar in Dumfriesshire. 
Of the 12 new records for v.c. 89, 10 were gathered in 
the course of one afternoon in a single locality—a marsh 
between Ben Gulabin and Carn Mor at an elevation of 2000 ft. 
Of these there are two which are sufficiently rare to deserve 
special mention—Lophozia socia (Nees), and Harpanthus 
Flotowianus, Nees. Lophozia socia has only been found in 
four vice-counties in Scotland. Harpanthus was plentiful 
by the side of rills in the marsh. It is easily distinguished 
by the small round notch at the apex of the leaf. This plant 
was discovered in Shetland by Mr. John Sim in the year 
1878, and was fully described by Mr. Pearson in the “ Trans- 
actions ” of this Society for 1879. It was then called “a new 
British hepatic.” Five years earlier, however, it had been 
gathered by the Rev. Mr. Ferguson in Aberdeenshire, and 
named Jungermania bantriensis. The error was discovered 
by Mr. Maevicar. The other records for the county were :— 
Aplozia pumila ( With.) Cephalozia connivens ( Dicks.) 
Lophozia bicrenata (Schmid.) Odontoschisma Sphagna 
Lophozia Floerkii, var. Bau- (Dicks.) 
eriand Pleuroclada albescens and 
Sphenolobus exsecteformis Nardia obovata 
(Breidl.) 
This single afternoon’s outing yielded some 40 species in all. 
Of course this includes some which are common everywhere, 
and one continually comes across them on the hills, such as 
Frullania Tamarisci, Nardia scalaris, Lophozia ventricosa, 
Diplophyllum albicans, Lejeunea cavifolia (Ehrh.), ete. There 
were a few, however, which, though not records for the 
county, may be mentioned :—Cephalozia pleniceps ; Cephalozia 
leucantha, Spruce ; Lophozias, bantriensis and gracilis ; Spheino- 
lobus minutus ;, Scapania uliginosa, and Chiloscyphos pallescens. 
The two Mylias, Taylori and anomala, were very common. 
This marshy ground seemed a likely place for Plewrozia 
purpurea, but a diligent search failed to reveal it, and it 
remains a desideratum for East Perth. It is strange that in 
the western part of the county it should be plentiful, and
