At Lawers Inn we met Mr. C. Druce, of Oxford, a dis- 

 tinguished botanist, wlio had come north to search for a 

 rare Carex on Ben Lawers. We had a pleasant drive 

 home to Bridge of Lochay, and were home in good time 

 for dinner — all greatly delighted with this first day's 

 excursion. In the evening Mr. J. A. Terras, B.Sc, joined 

 the Club as a visitor.

 and sultry in the extreme. There was not a breath of

 Lochay, we walked several miles farther up the valley till 

 we reached the foot of Beinn Heasgarnich, a mountain

 ascent of the mountain, and of these eight, two felt the heat 

 so oppressive that they left the others, and afterwards went 

 to Craig More, a mountain 3305 feet in height, situated 

 to the south-west of Beinn Heasgarnich. The remaining 

 six persevered, and in due time reached the top of Beinn 

 Heasgarnich, and afterwards botanised the rocks on the 

 Glen Lyon side of that mountain. 



Among the plants collected may be mentioned — 

 Dryas octopdala, L. ; Saussurea alpina, DC. ; Zoiseleuria 

 procumhens, Desv., in fruit ; Fyrola rotnndifolia, L. ; Genti- 

 ana campcstris, L., var. alha, in great abundance near the
