418 Mr Arthur Bennett on the [sess. liii' 



complete, as my friend Mr Hanluiry is still working out the 

 new forms, c^c. 



As Dr Buchanan White of Perth has taken up the study 

 of the genus Salix, I would ask all who can to aid him, 

 either by remitting specimens or submitting their collection 

 to him. Already he has found some interesting new forms 

 among our plants. 



I wish I could induce some one to take up the genus 

 Atriph'x in the same way, I shall be glad to place at the 

 disposal of any one who would, a series of specimens from 

 the eastern and southern coasts of England, and also from 

 the Danish and Swedish coasts. 



Proceeding with my enumeration in the same way, as 

 before, by beginning with the Shetland Isles, I give all the 

 new records found in them, as it seems to me that every 

 species that is found in these northerly islands is of great 

 interest, as touching on the immigration of our flora. Mr 

 Beeby's finds in 1888 include Poly gala cu-vulgaris, Vicia 

 sepium, Geum rivalc ; SjMrganium simplex, var. longissimum, 

 Pr. ; Rupina rostellata, Scirpus setaceus, and Carex CEderi of 

 authors (but not of Ehrhart), a paper on which and other 

 Eurojiean Carices I should like to call attention to, which 

 will appear in the Botanical Gazette or Torrey Bulletin, 

 U.S.A., by my friend Professor L. H. Bailey of the Cornell 

 University — the result of a tour he made to European 

 Herbaria last autumn. 



In the Orkneys, Professor J. W. H. Trail has found 11 

 species not before recorded, including Potentilla procumheiis, 

 Trientalis etiropa^a, and Atrijjlex littoralis. 



From tlie Outer Hebrides, Mr A. Somerville has sent me 

 over 50 additional records, a few of which are noted in 

 Macgillivray's Account of the Outer Hehrides, 1830, pp. 91-95, 

 but were not taken up by Watson, lieing held doubtful. 

 These include Cicuta viroscc (occurring plciutifuUy in the 

 marshy border of a loch in South Uist), Viola Cttrtisii, 

 (Enanthe crocata, Tledcra Helix (on rocks), Scutellaria minor, 

 Atriplex arenaria, Allium urdnuni, Potamogcton Friesii (mu- 

 cronatus, Auct.), Scirpus Savii, &c. 



In Caithness, Mr Henderson has added Thalictrum alpinum 

 and Tojieldia palustris ; Messrs Hanbuiy and Grant Rumex 

 domesticus, and 6 species of Hieracia.
