256 Notes on the Records of Scottish Plants duriwj 1889. 



Wigton still keeps up a good many new records by Sir H. 

 Maxwell and Mr J. M' Andrew to the number of twenty-three ; 

 and to Dumfries Mr Johnstone and the llev. E. F. Linton 

 have added nine. 



These are nearly all the records, except a series of Mr 

 Druce's in the " Journal of Botany," which were too late for 

 inclusion in my yearly paper in the " Scottish Naturalist." 



I ventured last year {Trans., p. 420) to predict that the 

 records then given (584) would be found to fall off year by 

 year. Those of 1889 fully bear out that idea, for they 

 number only 259.
