Mr. Donald Patton read a paper on Some Norwegian 

 Plant Associations, in which he dealt with observations 

 made during a tour in Norway in the previous July. The 

 various plant associations were discussed chiefly in con- 

 nection with the respective floras of the localities, Voss, 

 Finse, Myrdal, and Balholm. At Voss the flora was very 

 similar to that of certain parts of Scotland. The Finse 

 flora was typically alpine, but not arctic. Both alpine and 

 lowland plants were found at Myrdal and Balholm. 



An interesting Bornean plant, Clerodendron jistulosum, 

 Becc, was shown by Mr. H. F. Tagg, the stems of which 

 are hollow and inhabited by a species of ant, Colobopsis 

 Clerodendri, Emery.

 rarer Orkney plants was exhibited, some of which were 

 new records for Orkney. 



Flowers and nectar-sacs of Marcgravia myriostigma, 

 Fr. et CI., were exhibited by Mr. R. C. Davie.

 ambigua, Camb., which from appearance might have been 

 grown by the side of a waterfall.
