Kinlochewe in climbing the Slioch, and examining the 

 shores of Loch Maree, but torrents of rain made the task 

 anything but a pleasant one. The plants gathered included, 

 Isoetes lacustris, Myriophyllum alternifiorum, Hydrocotyle, 

 LUtonUa, Lobelia Bortiiianna, Piiiguicula lusitanica, Nitella

 alba. Another wet day was spent about Strome on Loch 

 Carron, when Hymenophylliuii unilaterale, Aspidium lobatum, 

 Aira cu.ryophyllea, Arenaria pieploides, Biida media. Pea 

 nemoralis, Arenaria scrpyllifolia, Veronica agrestis, Vicia

 Opidus, Asperida odorata, Hicracium anglicum, H. murorum, 

 Triglochin mo.jntimum, Juncus Gcrardi, Allium ursinum, 

 etc., were noted. I next walked from Strome to Loch 

 Alsh, and then ferried over Loch Duich, walking by the 

 southern side of that lovely loch to Shiel House, and then 

 on the same day ascended Sgurr Fhuaran, 3505 feet; from 

 the summit a most gorgeous view was obtained, the rays of 

 the setting sun lighting up a great expanse of eastern

 vidgaris, Comarum palustrc, Carex curta, BoirycMum Lun-

 chrysantlcum, Juncus trifidus, Oxyria, Ca.rcx rigida, C. palle- 

 scens, Cryptogramme crispa, etc., were gathered on it. The
