to the lists for Edinburgh, Fife and Kinross, Stirling, and 

 West Perth and Clackmannan, yet even in these counties 

 there is need of more thorough exploration, in view of the 

 requirements specified above. No doubt much informa- 

 tion would be obtained from a careful examination of the 

 local collections in the Herbarium in the Royal Botanic 

 Garden. 



In the hope of aiding in the investigation of the basins 

 of the Forth and the Tweed, I have sought to prepare a 

 list, showing what species that might be expected to occur 

 in each county have not yet been reported from it, using 

 H. C. Watson's numerals for the counties (78 Peebles, 

 79 Selkirk, 80 Roxburgh, 81 Berwick, 82 Haddington, 

 83 Edinburgh, 84 Linlithgow, 85 Fife with Kinross (partly 

 in the basin of the Tay), 86 Stirling (partly in the basin 

 of the Clyde), 87 W. Perth with Clackmannan. I have 

 in some cases enumerated those counties from which a 

 plant is recorded ; when a plant occurs in most counties I 

 have sought to draw attention to those from which it has 

 not been recorded by the words. Not from, followed by their 

 numbers in italics. " Aliens " are denoted by t before the 

 numbers, or after single numbers ; (S.) denotes Sonntag as 

 the authority ; (F.E.) denotes Balfour and Sadler's " Flora 

 of Edinburgh."
