Tuesday, olst July. — Our excursion to-day was to Beinn 

 Laoghal, a mountain 2504 feet in height. This is a beauti- 

 ful mountain, and has several distinct summits. After a 

 walk of 3 or 4 miles, we arrived at the foot of the mountain, 

 and ascended it from the west side. To-day we were 

 accompanied by Dr Gunn of London; and it is right to 

 mention that Mr Mitchell of Ribigill, the lessee of the shoot- 

 ings of Beinn Laoghal, kindly gave us full permission to 

 examine the mountain, and in addition sent his keeper to act 

 as our guide. The day was fine, and we had a very enjoyable 

 excursion. Among the plants collected may be mentioned: —
