On the invitation of Mr and Mrs Deverell, we were most 

 hospitably entertained to tea at Kinloch House on our way 

 home. Our conveyance met us here, and we got safely back 

 to Tongue in time for a nine o'clock dinner. 



Thursday, 2nd August. — We left Tongue this morning for 

 Thurso, having engaged conveyances to drive us as far as 

 Melvich. At Bettyhill Inn, on the mouth of the Naver, about 

 14 miles from Tongue, we rested the horses fully two 

 hours, to enable us to examine the botany of Parr Head. 

 The day was very fine, and we found this part of the coast 

 very productive. We were prepared to find some good plants 

 here, for Professor Graham in 1827 visited the place, and re- 

 corded some good finds. We had only two hours to examine 

 the district, and among the plants collected may be men- 

 tioned : — Thalictrum minus, var. maritimum, Syme; Nymphcea 

 alba, Linn., — was seen in several lochs ; Fumaria ojicinalis
