probability would be planted by the Eev. Dr. Singer or 

 Mr. Little. 



The Eev. Wm. Brodie, the present minister, informs me 

 that both yjlants have been growing there in abundance 

 all the time he has been resident there. 



Arciostaphylus Uca-ursi, Ciorreferron, also a second 

 station. 



With the exception of the Hieracia, I have only two 

 plants to record as new to the district. Unfortunately, they 

 are only casuals, and are Scandix pcdiiiveneri^, casual in 

 garden, and Son<:hv^ arrensis, waste ground at Birnock. 



In the " Journal of Botany " of May, June, and July 

 1893, the Messrs. E. F. and W. Pu Linton publish a list 

 of Hieracia gathered by them in Scotland, a number of 

 them ha\dng stations in this district. They have since 

 named specimens of nearly all of them in a collection 

 I sent up to them for that purpose. Their list, applicable 

 to this district, is as follows : —
