182 TRANSACTIONS OF THE [Szss. LXxv. 
and others in August 1871, recorded eighty-three of the 
former, and one of the latter, namely, Aspleniwm mari- 
num. To that list Rattray added twenty, including a fern, 
Lastrea (sic) Feliz-femina. West mentions other eight— 
among them a third fern, Aspleniwm Ruta-muraria— 
seen by him in August 1905. 
The undernoted further additions to the list have at one 
time or another been collected by me on the island; they 
comprise twenty Phanerogams and two Ferns. Some of the 
Phanerogams flower early, which probably accounts for their 
absence from previous records. A number are garden weeds, 
a class from which a few more additions might doubtless 
have been made had one cared to look specially for them. 
It would seem that the Flora of the island has under- 
gone some changes in recent years. Several of the plants 
previously recorded—Mertenzia maritima, Lotus corni- 
culatus, and Sedum acre, for instance—I am unable to 
find; while others stated to have been common are, in my 
experience, scarce and vice versd. For instance, Mr. West 
speaks of Bellis perennis (the daisy) as “scarce near the 
houses”; this year, in June, the grassy banks by the road- 
side from the landing stairs to the lighthouse, and down by 
the harbour, etc., were literally white with daisies. On the 
other hand, Galiwm verum, referred to as common, I have 
had difficulty in finding; its congener, G. saxatile, however, 
is plentiful. Since the cropping of the enclosures (now in 
grass) was discontinued, a number of field weeds are quite 
likely to have disappeared. The introduction of a few 
plants of the Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae rhammoides) to 
the engineer's garden this spring should, perhaps, be men- 
tioned, so that its origin may be known in the event of the 
shrub becoming established on the island.

ning of June 1910, and again this year, immediately to the
