very bare and the plants much dried up. On the rocks at 

 about a 1000 feet Juncus trijidus occurred, with a large 

 form of Salix herbacea. We also gathered Hieracium 

 lingulatum, and on the higher shoulder Ardostaphylos 

 alpina and Loiseleuria ])rocuriibcns dried up by the hot sun. 

 The base of the mountain yielded a very small form of 

 Chara fragilis, Scirims fiuita/ns, and Arenaria serpyllifolia, 

 the two former growing in a pool, the latter by the road- 

 side. Another visit to Jeantown afforded Stachys amhigua 

 growing with its assumed parents S. palustris and >S^. 

 syhatica. This locality is given for it in Hooker's Flora 

 Scotica, jEthusa Cynapium grew in cultivated ground. 

 Another day we went from Carron by Jeantown to Kis- 

 horn during a violent storm of thunder and rain, which 

 accompanied us over the celebrated^Beallach na bo Pass to 

 Applecross. The beach at Applecross with its curious 

 limestone pavement gave Sagina nodosa, and Epilolium 

 pai'viflomm, which grew in the fissures in the rock. BvMis 

 corylifolius was not uncommon on clay. A small fresh 

 water loch near the sea, called Loch a Mhuilinn, had 

 Nymplioea alba, Utricularia negleda and minor, Potamo- 

 geton nataTis, Scirpus lacustris, Carex rostrata, Veronica 

 scuteUata, Cluira fragilis, and Suhularia aquatica. In the 

 woods grew Equisetum maximum and Hieracium corym- 

 ho3um {H. Eupatorium). By the shingle, Atriplex BaMng- 

 tonii, var. vircscens was common, Agropyron jv/nceum, Seduvi 

 axre, native, Erodium cicutarium, Geranium dissectum, white- 

 fruited Buhus idaeus, Erophila vulga.ris, Cerastium tetrandiom, 

 etc. A handsome subcristate rose was common, it does not 

 answer to any of our varieties, M. Crepin considers it to be 

 a glandular variety of B. glauca. Bosa coriifolia, in varied 

 fonns also occurred. 



The return journey over the Beallach na bo Pass yielded 

 Juncus trifidus, J. triglumis, Saoiifraga hypnoides, Saussurea, 

 Epilolium alpinum, Cryptogra/nime crispa, Hieracium mv/ro- 

 rura, var. ciliatum, Bhodiola, G^nap)lwlium supinum, Silene 

 acaulis, Thalictrum alpinum, Luzula spicata, etc. In a pool 

 at the top of the pass (2050 feet) Suhidaria, Isoetes lacustris, 

 var. falcoM and Callitriche hunndaM occurred. By Loch 

 Ki shorn we gathered Scirpus maritimus, and about Elishom 

 on the limestone, Hieracium iricum, Hahenaria coiwpsea,
