254 TRANSACTIONS AND TROCEEDINGS OF [Sess. lvi. 



Hebrides ; already the latter produce a species (Arahis 

 alpina, L.) unknown elsewhere in Scotland, and that their 

 floras are nothing like complete I confidently assert, from 

 studying the ranges of species northwards and eastwards of 

 them. Anyone in the Outer Hebrides may fully expect to 

 gather 40 to 50 species hitherto not on record, and a still 

 larger number in the Inner Hebrides. 



Passing to the records, Dumfries has ten — Vaccinium 

 uliginosum and Arctostaphylos Uva-ursi among them. To 

 Kirkcudbright, Mr M' Andrew has added a large number — 

 Thalidrum alpinum, Vicia Orohus, Cicuta, Mcrtimsia, Carex 

 paiccijlorus, and Asplenium firide being among them. 

 Wigtown, Eenfrew, and Lanark have each one only, 

 Stirling, by the labours of Col. Stirling and Mr R. Kidston, 

 numbers 52. Many, however, are not native. Elatine 

 luxandra, Callitriche autumnalis, Hicrachim lingulatum, 

 Rumex domcsticua, Carex aquatilis, var., and Sderochloa 

 loliacea are some of the interesting species. West Perth 

 one. Mid I'erth has a very interesting addition, gathered 

 by the Messrs Groves, i.e., Carex alpina. Mr Holt of 

 Manchester has sent me a fragment of Eriophorum alpinum, 

 " gathered by Mr Henry Stansfield some twenty years ago 

 on Craig Challiach, Perthshire." I need hardly say that 

 endeavours should be made to thoroughly search this 

 mountain to try and verify this rare plant. 



Mr Somerville, among a very large series of specimens, 

 kindly transmitted to me from Eastern ess (East Inverness), 

 seven new records. 



For Westerness (West Inverness), my friend, Mr Druce, 

 records over 50 additions, and Mr Macvicar several for its 

 Argyle side. Nine are recorded by Mr Ewing for Argyle ; 

 and for Dumbarton Mr L. Watt has sent 17, among them 

 Uap)hanus maritimtis and Carex aquatilis, var. 



Mr Ewing also records for North Ebudes several, as 

 also for West lloss. 



To East Ptoss, my good friend the Pev. E. Marshall, 

 about 40 species — Oxykvpis uralensis, in a new station, 

 Galium erectum, Fotamogeton prmlomjus among them. 



East and West Sutherland produce each two species. To 

 the Outer Hebrides, Mr W. S. Duncan contributes 23 new 

 records, verifying several of Macgillivray's made many years
