Dec, 1895.] BOTANICAL SOCIKTY OF EDINBURGH, 483 



one party botanising Crannach Wood, and the other party 

 ascending Beinn Achallader. 



Crannach AVood is part of the old Caledonian Forest, 

 and it was thought that some good plants might be found 

 in the wood, but it proved very unproductive. 



Among the plants found in the wood may be mentioned : 

 — Soidago Virgaurea, L. ; Vaccinium Vitis-Idcca, L., in 

 fruit ; Pyrola rotundifolia, L. ; Trientalis europcea, L. ; 

 Euphrasia gracilis, Fries.; Listera cordata, Br. ; FJiynclio- 

 spora alba, Vahl. ; and Carex pauciflora, Lightf. 



Eev. Dr. Paul, who was one of the members who 

 botanised the wood, made a careful inspection of the 

 Fungi, and says, " There are no very particular ones among 

 them, nor are they very numerous, it being too early for 

 them by a month ; but it might be worth recording those 

 that were observed, as the wood may not have been 

 examined for Fungi before. It would be a good place for 

 them later in the season." Dr. Paul has sent a list of 

 those Fungi observed, and it is here recorded : — 



1. Agaricus (aiimnita) vag-inatus, Bull. 1.). Lactarius torminosus, Fr. 



"2. (Aniiillaria') melleus. Fl. Dan, It). Eussula ochroleuca, Fr.

Trametes pini, Fr., though carefully searched for among 

 the old Scotch firs of the Caledonian Forest was not 

 found. 



The members who ascended Beinn Achallader were more 

 successful. Beinn Achallader is a mountain 3399 feet 

 high, partly in Argyllshire and partly in Perthshire. The 

 rocks, however, are all in Argyllshire. The day was fine, 

 and a good view was obtained from the summit. This hill 

 is one of the chain of mountains referred to in the beginning 

 of this paper, and lies north of Beinn an Dothaidh and 

 south-west of Beinn Creachan. 



Among the plants collected may be mentioned: — Cock-
