cross, in Loch a Mhuiliun and Loch Coulin, and by Loch 

 Diiich. 



S. MARiTiMUS, L. — Kiutail (" Collectanea for a Flora of 

 Moray," by Dr. Gordon, 1836, p. 3). I have seen it 

 there as the var. coiiglohatus, Gray. It also occurs at 

 Kishorn with the variety mentioned. 



* S. RUFUS, Wahlb. — Plentiful in two or three places on 

 the shores of Loch Carron. The var. hifolius {Bbjsmus 

 rafiis, var. hifolius, Wallroth) also occurred, and appeared 

 to gradually merge into the type. 



* Eriophorum VAGiNATL'M, L. — Abundant, and generally 

 distributed. 



*E. POLYSTACHiox, L. {E. aivjustifolmni, Eoth.) — 

 Abundant, and generally distributed. The var. minus, 

 Koch, was seen on Slioch, etc. Var. Vaillantianum, Poit. 

 €t Tiirp. — Kinlochewe. 



E. LATIFOLIUM, Hoppc. — " Topographical Botany," on 

 faith of a specimen sent by Churchill Babington. I have 

 not seen it in West Boss. There is an earlier record, Mr. 

 Arth. Bennett points out, viz. Plockton, 6 miles w.s.w. of 

 Strome Ferry (Mr. Stables). See " Gordon Coll.," p. 3, 1836. 



Ehyncospora ALBA, Vahl. — Recorded by Churchill 

 Babington in " Topographical Botany." It is locally 

 common, as in Glen Torridon, Strathcarron, near Dun- 

 donnell, etc. 



ScHCENUS NIGRICANS, L. — "Topographical Botany 

 (Churchill Babington)." Frequent. Especially abundant 

 about Loch Broom side, Strathcarron, Applecross, etc.; also 

 as the var. nanus, Lange, in Strathcarron. 



Cladium jamaicense, Crantz. (C. r/ermanicum, Schrad.) — 

 A. Evans 1890, see "Scotch Xaturalist," 1891, p. 186. 

 1 have not seen it in the county. 



* Carex dioica, L. — Xot uncommon, and widely dis- 

 tributed ; but much less frequent than C. pulicaris, L. 



* C. PULICARIS, L. — Abundant, and generally distributed. 



* C. RUPESTRis, L. — A scrappy specimen gathered by me 

 in 1880 near Glen Shiel may belong to this species. It 

 occurs very sparingly on the Cnochan rocks in West Boss, 

 and is not uncommon on the same rocks at a low altitude 

 in West Sutherland. 



* C. PAUCIFLORA, Liglitf. — Lower slopes of Ben Eay,
