While the members were at breakfast on Thursday, 

 25th Jul} 7 , a thunderstorm came on, accompanied hy 

 torrential rain, and as the hills were covered with mist, 

 botanising on them was out of the question. As the 

 weather cleared somewhat by 11 o'clock, the members drove 

 down Glen Ogle in order to examine the large beds of 

 Lastrea montana, T. Moore, and other ferns growing in the 

 neighbourhood, and especially on the slopes below the 

 railway, where Asplenium viride, Huds. ; A. tricliomanes, 

 Linn.; Cy stopfer i* fro < gills, Bernh. ; Carex canescens. Linn.; 

 C. pulicarisj Linn., and Saxifraga aizoides, Linn., were 

 found. Several plants of crispate, brevilobe, and forked 

 forms of Lastrea montana, T. Moore, were found. The 

 remainder of the day was luckily fine. 



On the morning of 26th July, the members botanised on 

 the road leading to Lochearnhead, and in the afternoon 

 on the road on the east side of Loch Tay, where Hypericum 

 hirsutum, Linn. ; Circaea alpina, Linn. ; Galium boreale, 

 Linn. ; Lysimachia, nemorum, Linn. ; Lastrea spinulosa, 

 Presl ; Cystoperis fragilis, Bernh., var. furcans, and a pink- 

 flowered Prunella vulgaris, Linn., were found. Though 

 the morning was dull and threatening, with some mist on 

 the hills, the afternoon turned out fine and warm. 



The members returned home on 27th July. 



Owing to the bad weather, only one complete day's 

 botanising was possible, viz. the day spent on Ben Lawers, 

 and although some good plants were there found, it was a 

 great disappointment to the members to be unable to visit 

 other mountains during their visit.
