Scot. Xat. Hist.." July 1895, p. 179. — Also on a heathery

 •July 1912, H. H. Johnston. Plants in full bloom. Native. 



Gentiana campestris, Linn. — Sandy links at the sea- 

 shore, 20 feet above sea-level, Links of Melsetter, Waas. 

 Hoy, 11th August 1913. H. H. Johnston. Native. Calyx 

 4-cleft. Corolla 4-cleft. Stamens 4. Stigmas 2. Mr. 

 Arthur Bennett, to whom I sent specimens, furnished me 

 with the following remark : — " I suppose a state of G. 

 baltica, Murbecli, but I am not sure."' — Also in pasture 

 near the seashore, 30 feet above sea-level, Point of Huro, 

 Westray. 2nd September 1913, H. H. Johnston. Native. 

 Calyx 4-cleft. with the two outer lobes much larger than 

 the two inner lobes. Corolla 4-cleft. Remarks on my 

 specimens by Mr. Arthur Bennett : — " It is probable that 

 these specimens are Gentiana baltica, Murbeeh, which he 

 places as a subspecies (not a species) of G. campestris, 

 Linn. But they are not in a condition to make it sure 

 they are so. As a rule, seaside specimens of G. campestris, 

 Linn., may be called G. baltica. Murbech (but like every 

 rule it has exceptions), and the inland ones G. campestris, 

 Linn."

 Swanbister, Orphir, Mainland, 6th July 1883, H. H. John- 

 ston (fide J. T. I. B. Boswell) ; and very rare on a turf wall 

 120 feet above sea-level, near Galaha, Smoogro, Orphir. 

 Mainland. 19th July 1912, H. H. Johnston. Not native at 

 either of these two stations, and it is probable that this 

 species is not a true native in Orkney. See " Scot. Nat."
