Gathered by Dr B. White and Mr Brebner in three 

 localities in Perthshire, in Sutherland by my friend Eev. 

 E. S. Marshall (and also in East Perth), and recorded by Dr 

 Lees in Eecord Club Eeport for 1884-85-86, as for " West 

 Perth found some years ago by Messrs W. Croall and F. M. 

 Webb as Juncus lamprocarpus." Further particulars of its 

 occurrence are given by Dr B. White in Scottish Naturalist 

 for October 1887. 



As long ago as 1843, Professor Babington, in the first 

 edition of his Manual, says of this species, " no doubt will be 

 found in Britain." After a lapse of forty-four years, this 

 proves true. Dr White's and Eev. E. S. Marshall's speci- 

 mens have been confirmed by Dr Buchenau of Bremen, the 

 highest authority on the order we have. 



Rhyncospora fusca, E. et S. 



A species well known as a native in the southern and 

 western counties of England, and reported from Salop and 

 York, but never confirmed, has been found by Mr M' Andrew 

 " on a moor in Kirkcudbrightshire in 1882." Among other 

 specimens, Mr M Andrew sent these " for a name" last 

 autumn. There is no antecedent reason wdiy it should not 

 be a Scottish species, growing as it does in Denmark, Sw^eden 

 and Norway ; at the same time, it is a very interesting addi-
