Melam/pyrum, pratense, L., var. montanwm (Johnst.). — 

 Scouthall wood. Dr. Davidson sp. 



These comprise about nine real additions. 



Air. C. B. Crampton has published " The Vegetation of 

 Caithness considered in relation to the Geology " and there 

 has added the undermentioned species to its flora : — 



Corydalis claviculata, DC. — In a few places along the 

 banks of the Langwell and Berriedale Waters. This is an 

 interesting addition to this northern flora ; it seems want- 

 ing in all Sweden, occurs very locally in W. Norway 

 (Slavenga) and S. Norway (Christianssand), in Denmark 

 in several places, and North Germany, but not recorded 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 wligino&u/m, L. — Northern flank of Small 

 Mount (1750 ft.), in the Langwell Forest. Found in 

 Sutherland, Orkney, and Shetland ! . 



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 Dun- 

 beath. 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. asp&r, Murray, no doubt led to the 

 mistake. It was found by Robert Dick at Dirlot, and I 

 have seen it from the Forss Water. 



Asplenium 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.
