The members had to leave early in the afternoon in 

 order to begin their journey homewards. Owing to its 

 being Bank Holiday, the trains were all very late, and the 

 crowds enormous, so that the return journey, as far a& 

 Bristol, was begun under most uncomfortable circumstances 



SHORT NOTES. 



Barbula gracilis Schwaeg. Xew to Scotland. — In October 

 last year I gathered in Glen Phee, Clova, Barbula gra 



Schwaeg. This moss, although unrecorded for Scotland, is 

 probably often overlooked owing to its resemblance to 

 Barbula fattax. It is rather interesting to note that it 

 grows on the same rock faces of quartzose gneiss as 

 Qxytropis campestris and Sola n ia cwsia. The moss, as is 

 always the case in Britain, was sterile. Specimens were 

 sent to Mr. D. A. Jones. Harlech. 



Margaret Corstorphine. 



CeTtiunculus minimus, L.. in Wigtownshire. — In Aug - 

 last I found this plant growing in small quantity on 

 Craigoch Moor on the footpath on the top of the cliffs 

 approaching Morroch Bay from Portpatrick : a new record 

 for vice-county 74. James Frasee. 



The following are a few new records for Scottish vice- 

 counties : — 



SUene fanbriata, Sim-, from the south bank of the Crinan 

 Canal. Argyllshire, at Auchendarroch Lodge : evidently an 

 outcast. 



Piptatherum muUiflorv/m, Beauv.. from near Mussel- 

 burgh, the first record of this grass from Britain. 



EpUobium nuTn/mularifoliuTn,, R. Cunn.. in plenty on 

 garden walls at Ardrishaig. Argyllshire : an escape. 



Juncus tenuis, Willd.. west of West Linton. Peeblesshire. 



James M- Andrew. 



Potamogeton pra longus, Wulf.. in Orkney. In September 

 1911 Mr. M. Spence of Durness sent me a specimen of the 

 above species from a loch where it grew with P. perfoliatus, 

 L., and P. Jiliformis, Xolte.
