The Abbey Burn, from Dundrennan, through Netherlaw 

 Glen to Burnfoot and the Seashore. 



Ferns. — The " Basket Fern," a local name for Aspidium 

 angulare, Willd., grows luxuriantly in Netherlaw Glen, and

 Asplcnium marinum, L., is found all along the shore, but 

 is disappearing. I think I have mentioned all the ferns 

 known to me which I have seen growing wild in the 

 parish, except the Eoyal fern, Osmunda regalis, L., which 

 I saw growing in its native state, in a situation where I did 

 not expect it.
