Carum verticillatum, a plant well known in this locality, 
was seen in large quantity. Besides this, the following 
plants were found :—Blechnum Spicant var. anomalwm, B. 
Spicant var. caudatum, Carex levigata, C. pallescens, 
Carum verticillatum, Curcwa alpina, Grnaphaliuom sylvati- 
cum, Hypericum Androsemum, Lastrea emula, Lythrwm 
Salicaria, Lysimachia vulgaris, Polystichum aculeatum, 
Sanicula europea, Scutellaria galericulata. Leaves of 
Quercus pedunculata were gathered, one 10} x 53, another 
7 x 64 ins. 
As the morning of Wednesday, 29th July, was fine, it 
was decided to visit Ben Loaigh. ‘The members accordingly 
left Crianlarich by the 10.5 train and alighted at Glen Lochy 
crossing, where it had been arranged that the train should 
stop specially for the convenience of the members, though 
this was about a mile short of the most convenient point 
on the line from which the ascent of the mountain could be 
made. ‘The members spent the whole of the day on the 
various ledges of rock to the north of the mountain. Time 
did not permit of anyone getting so far as the corrie, or 
even as faras the best-known station for Kobresia caricina, 
and unfortunately no trace of this plant could be seen on 
the northern slopes of the mountain. The members, how- 
ever, were fortunate in finding Cystopteris montana in 
considerable quantity on several ledges of the rocks, and 
a plant of the holly fern—Polystichum Lonchitis—was 
found with all its fronds crested, doubtless a seedling 
either from the plant originally found there many years 
ago by Dr. Craig during a visit of the Club, or a seedling 
from a crested plant still growing on some inaccessible 
part of the rocks. As the railway authorities would not 
stop the evening train at Lochy crossing to pick up the 
members, the only alternative was for them to drive back 
to Tyndrum, and this entailed an early departure from 
the mountain. The day had fortunately kept fine, but as 
the members were walking homewards rain commenced to 
fall and continued without ceasing until they reached 
Tyndrum railway station, where the members were kept 
waiting a considerable time in their damp clothes, owing 
to the train being very late; fortunately, however, no one 
was any the worse of the unpleasant experience. The
