Note. — The late Rev. W. R. Linton gathered specimens 

 of a Hieracium, in my company, at the Dwarfie Hamars 

 (" Quoys Hamars"), Hoy, on 10th August 1886, which he 

 labelled and recorded as " H. rubicundum, F. J. Hanbury" 

 in " The Journal of Botany," vol. xxxi, June 1893, p. 178 ; 

 but his brother, the Rev. E. F. Linton, informs me that 

 these specimens are not H. rubicundum, F. J. Hanbury, 

 which is not recorded from Orkney in " An Account of the 

 British Hieracia," by the Rev. W. R. Linton, 1905, p. 25. 

 The Rev. E. F. Linton is doubtful to which species these 

 specimens (rather poor ones) belong, but he thinks they 

 may be H. rubicundum, F. J. Hanbury, var. Boswelli, 

 Linton, which is recorded from Orkney in " The Journal of 

 Botany," vol. xxxi, June 1893, pp. 178 and 179 (as a 

 species), and in " An Account of the British Hieracia," by 

 the Rev. W. R. Linton, 1905, p. 25.
