the head of Little Loch Broom. We ferried over Loch 

 Broom and climbed the moorland road by Loch na h' 

 Airbhe, in which grew Ranuncuhis 'petiolaris, Carex 

 rostrata, etc. About Dundonnell we gathered Viola 

 tricolor and Raphamis in the corn fields, and Halenaria 

 chloroleuca in the grass fields near the shooting lodge. 

 We then ascended the Glas Mheall Mor and the shoulder 

 of An Teallach, but the rain and mist prevented the climb 

 from being successful, if, indeed, there had been time to do 

 much botanising. ^ye gathered Hieraciuni lingulatum, 

 Ej)iloliium aljnnum, Vacciniuni ulginosum, Salic herbacca, 

 Rubus Chamcemoriis, Arctostaphylos alpina, etc., on the 

 mountain, which we climbed to something over 3000 feet, 

 when the mist and rain hindered further work. On our 

 way back we found, near Dundonnell, Riihus pyramidalis 

 and E. Jissns. By the time we reached Loch Broom the 

 rain had cleared off, so that the passage across the lake 

 was one of rare beauty, the sea being without a ripple, 

 refiecting all the colours of a magnificent sunset. Before 

 we left L'llapool we found (Enanthc crocata, Coronopus 

 procumhens, Buda marina, ^'Egopodium Podxigraria, etc. 



My next stopping place was Strathcarron, at the head 

 of the loch of that name. Here we found Ruppia, Scirpus 

 rufus, Salicornia, Arenaria peploides, Carex extensa, C. 

 chry sites. The corn fields afforded Bromus secalinus, Viola 

 segetalis, and Buda rubra. On the shingly margin of 

 the river, Galium verum, Silene marithna, Lepidium hetero- 

 phyllum, var. canescens, Anthyllis V^dneraria, Hieracium 

 auratum, and H. duriceps. Rumex domesticus, and conspcrsus 

 were gathered near the station. A grass field contained 

 several plants of Galiuni erectum. On the shingle near 

 Jeantown we found Caucalis Anthriscus, Malva sylvcstris, 

 Volndus sepium, Arctium intermedium and several garden 

 stragglers, if indeed the Malva and Volvulus do not belong 

 to that class. 



In a picturesque ravine near Jeantown we saw Osmunda, 

 Festuca sylvatica. Allium, ursinum, Bromus ramosus, Brachy- 

 podium gracile, Agropyron caninum, Potcntilla Fraga.ria- 

 strum, Aspleiiiiim viride, Rolystichum aculeatum, Hicraxiv.rn 

 anglicum, etc. An extremely hot day was occupied in 

 ascending a mountain nortli of the Strath, but we found it
