Thlaspe alpestre, Tofieldia palustris, Trientalis ewropea, 
Trollius ewropeus, Vaccinium wliginosum, Veronica 
alpina, V. Saxatilis. It will be noted that a very rare 
moss, Splachnum vasculosum, was gathered, having been 
found by the President to be still fairly abundant on a 
station where he had found it on a previous visit many 
years before. 
The members had a long walk back to the road where 
they had left the motor in the morning, and they were all 
thoroughly tired after such a hard and fatiguing day. 
On July 13th, some of the older members of the party, 
who were feeling the effects of their exertions on the 
previous day, decided to take things easily, and having 
motored about four miles up the valley, hunted among the 
ferns, of which thousands, principally Lastrea montana 
and propingua were growing on the sides of the small burns 
on the eastern slopes of Carn Mor. One of the members 
was lucky enough to find a very curious crispy form of the 
former fern; the pinne being all crisped and congested so 
that the plant was easily distinguishable when seen growing 
alongside the normal form. 
Two members of the party who were anxious to find 
Lychnis alpina tried to discover the station where members 
had found the plant when on a previous visit to Clova, but 
in this they were unsuccessful. Their efforts were much

of the stags appeared to resent the intrusion, so much so 
that it was thought advisable not to further disturb them. 
In addition to many of the plants found on the previous 
day, Cornus seusica and Gentiana campestris were 
gathered. The day was even hotter and more oppressive 
than the previous one had been. 
On July 14th the members motored over Devil's Elbow 
towards Braemar, turning up the rough road leading to 
Glen Callater and Corrie Cander. In Loch Cander was 
found Callitriche intermedia, Hottm., Isoetes lacustris, and 
Triglochin palustre. Carex atrata, C. eurta, C. puliearis 
and Juncus trifidus were also found during the day. In
