l82 THE SCOTTISH BOTANICAL REVIEW 



for Finland, the Faroes, or Iceland. Occurs in East (Grant sp.) 

 and West Sutherland (Marshall sp.). 



Filago minima, Fr. — Sandy places along Berriedale Water. On 

 record for Ross and E. Sutherland, but not further north. Unknown 

 in Finland, boreal Norway, and boreal Sweden. 



Vaccinium uliginosum, L. — Northern flank of Small Mount 

 (1750 ft.), in the Langwell Forest. Found in Sutherland, Orkney, 

 and Shetland I . 



Vaccinium Oxycoccus, L. — In the Langwell Forest, near the Dubh 

 lochs of Skielton. Recorded up to E. Sutherland (Marshall, 1909). 



Milium effusum, L. — In the Achorn Gorge near Dunbeath. In 

 E. Sutherland. Grant sp. 



Melica nutans, L. — Rocky banks of the Berriedale Water with 

 birch scrub ; scarce. W. Sutherland (Marshall). 



Bromus ramosus, Huds. — Achorn Gorge, near Dunbeath, and on 

 the landslip beneath the cliff near Borgue. This is not an addition, 

 though so given, but it being recorded under the name of B. asper, 

 Murray, no doubt led to the mistake. It was found by Robert 

 Dick at Dirlot, and I have seen it from the Forss Water. 



Aspletiium viride, Huds. — Rock crevices on Smean (1500 ft.). 

 In E. and W. Ross and Shetland. 



The above are an addition of seven species to the flora. The work 

 whence these are taken enters fully into the ecological conditions of 

 the plant-formations of Caithness from the top of Morven to the 

 sea-coast. 



The most interesting plant as regards Scotland, Hierochloe 

 borealis, is not mentioned. We know from Robert Dick that the 

 plant occurs along the Boulder Clay of the Thurso river, but it would 

 have been of interest if the occurrence of the species had been 

 noticed from the geological standpoint. 



Mr. Crampton gives localitiesfor other Caithness plants which are 

 not localised in any of the published lists, as — 



Carex Hmosa, L. — Small loch in the corrie at Yarehouse, where 

 it grows associated with C. dioica, L., and C. panicuiata, L. 



Ranunculus auricomus, L. — Mr. Lillie of Swiney, Lybster, has 

 sent me a specimen of the above species, gathered by one of the 

 children of Boultach School, and brought to Miss Hamilton, the 

 teacher. 



This is an interesting addition to the flora, as it is not on record 

 north of Nairn on the east coast, and of Argyll ! on the west coast. 

 In Sweden its distribution is continuous from Skane to Swedish 

 Lapland, in Norway north to 71° 8', and in Russian Lapland to 

 69° N. lat. 



It also occurs in the Faroes, but not in Iceland.
