twelve miles, on Bein Griam Mhor in Sutherland, there is 

 found among others, Saus.mi'ea alpiiia, Saxifraga opposi- 

 tifolia, Silene acaulis, Lycopodmm annotinum, Dry as 

 octopetala, and Cornux suecica. Mr. Crampton reports 

 that prolonged search failed to find any of these on 

 Morven, Maiden Pap, or any other hills or crags in the 

 county. 



Parnassia paludris, Linn., var. condensata, Wheldon 

 and Travis. — Coast swamp. Dunnet Links. 3.8.1915. 

 E. S. Marshall sp. Described from specimens gathered 

 on the Lancashire coast and figured in the Journal of 

 Botany, li, 87 (1913). 



Scahiosa succisa, Linn. — A form of this species grows 

 near Wick. A living plant was sent me by Mr. R. Bain 

 of Wick. The root leaves are 13 cm. long (lamina, 9 cm.) 

 X 6 cm. wide, much thinner in texture than usual, fringed 

 with long (3 mm.) hairs, nearly glabrous above, sparingly 

 hairy on the under surface. The usual size of the leaves 

 is 13 cm. X 3 cm., but in Killin, Perth, plants they are 

 35 cm. X 5 cm. 



Matricaria inodora, Linn., var. phaeocephala, Rupr. — 

 East of Reay. Marshall, Jour. Bot., 1916, 169. 



Andromeda polifolia, Linn. — Mentioned by Mr. Cramp- 

 ton as on record for Caithness, but 1 do not know where 

 so recorded. In Scotland it occurs in the Inner Hebrides 

 (V.C., 102), "Jura, 1812," Dr. Walker sp., on the west and 

 to Perth on the east. Still it may occur, as it reaches 

 Nordland in Sweden, appears in North and South Norway, 

 and in Finnish Lapland to 68° 22' N. Lat. Mr. Watson, 

 Cyb. Brit., ii, 153 (1849), observes: "The distribution of 

 this little shrub is peculiar in Britain, whether compared 

 with that of other species which are assigned to the 

 Scottish type, or with its distribution on the Continent 

 of Europe. It difiers from the usual character of tiie 

 Scottish or boreal type by its early northern limit."

 side pond, four miles W. of Thurso. E. S. Marshall sp.
