struggled through it from Shiel House to Kintail and then 

 ascended A Glas-bheine, and afterwards visited the cele- 

 brated Falls of Glomak, retracing my way back to Kintail 

 and continuing by the northern side of Loch Duich to 

 Dornie, where I meant to have slept, but where I found the 

 accommodation so limited that it only extended to a single 

 bed, half of which was bespoke by an itinerant pedlar, so 

 that I had to trudge my weary way on to Strome — making 

 a journey of nearly forty miles. My gathering included 

 Mimulus guttatus, which was quite naturalized in Kintail. 

 A Glas-bheine afforded a large flowered variety of Piiigui- 

 cula vulgaris, Saxifraga oppositifolia, 8. hypnoides, Silene 

 acaulis, Cerastiwm trivialc, var. alpimcm, Koch., Saussurca, 

 etc. On the rocks about the falls of Glomak Gcrmimm 

 sylvaticum and BJiodiola occurred. The north sides of 

 Loch Duich afforded Hicracium crocatitm, H. Pilosclla, 

 (Enanthe crocata, SjMrganium minimum, Scirpus lacustris, S. 

 maritimus, Chenopodium Bonus-henricus, Aira caryophyllea, 

 etc. 



The result of my visit was that I found on this journey 

 23 species already on record (of which 16 were without 

 personal authority), in Topographical Botany, 314 Phaner- 

 ogams, and 28 Cryptogams, which were new county 

 records. In addition to these, 16 varieties and 14 more 

 or less naturalized plants were noticed. Among the 

 latter were Barharea vulgaris, Acer Pseudoplatanus, Ulex 

 europmus, Bosa ruhiginosa, Doronicum Pardalianches, 

 Ligustrum vulgare, Ulmus campestris, Fagus sylvatica, 

 Popidus nigra, Salix ridjva, Avcna fatua, Lolium italicum, 

 and Bihcs Grossidaria. Of the 314 Phanerogams, Juncus 

 comprcssus, Sagina maritima, Festuca arcnaria, Osb., and 

 Mdanipyrum sylvaticum require verification. The speci- 

 mens, so named by a well-known botanist, were not in 

 good condition, so that in two or three cases the identity 

 may not be accurate. Deducting these four from the list, 

 we find that 338 species were added as native plants, and 

 14 as more or less naturalised plants to the county; while 

 23 species, on somewhat doubtful or old authority, were 

 verified — a total of 365 species. 



The second edition of " Topographical Botany " added 

 nothing to the published knowledge of West Ptoss plants
