J. trichophylla, Linn. Rocks above the Ruttin-biidge: side of a stream in Dalskairth 

 woods : sides of streams among the Moflat hills : by no means common. 



J. plati/phylla, Linn. Craigs near Dumfries, 8cc. common on rocks and trees, near 

 the ground : rare in fruit. 



J. IcBvigatu, Schrad. Abundant at the Craigs, near Dumfries; barren. 



J. tomentella, Ehrh. Wet places in Dalskairth woods. This and the following may 

 be considered two of the rarest, as they are certainly the most beautiful, species 

 of the genus found in this neighbourhood. 



J. ciliaris, Linn. On a rock above Dalskairth ; rare. 



J. serpyllifolia, Dicks. Dalskairth woods : Craigs near Dumfries : Creech-hope Linn, 

 Dumfriesshire : and near Moffat ; always barren. 



J. dilatata, Linn. Trunks of trees, roots of hedges, rocks and stones ; common. 



J. Tamarisci, Linn. Rocks and trees, near the ground, common ; rather scarce in fr. 



J. pinguis, Linn, Damp ground near the Powder-Magaziue, &c., not uncommon in 

 bogs and wateiy places. Var. ^. Lochar-moss. 



J. multifida, Linn. Marshes and wet ground, pretty common. 



J. Blasia, Hook. Field opposite Clouden-mills, Kirkcudbrightshire ; rare. 



J. epiphylla, Linn. Moist ground, ditches &c., common. Var. /3. less common though 

 by no means rare. 



J. furcata, Linn. Trees, hedge-roots and rocks, common. 



J. Lyellii, Hook. Lochar-moss, near the side of the English road, very rare. So ve- 

 ry sparing, indeed, is this rare species, that the whole patch might be covered by 

 a man's hat ; and though I have made the most careful and anxious search in 

 the same neighbourhood, I could only find this single patch.

Art. LXXIII. — Notes on the Genus Utricular ia. 

 By the Rev. J. B. Brichan. 



The second species of this genus — Utricularia intermedia — has 

 long had assigned to it, as one of its habitats, the Loch of Spynie in 

 Morayshire. Having never examined that locality I cannot ])ositively 

 affirm that the species is not to be found there ; but I think that the 

 following remarks, if they do not prove the contrary, at least render it 

 very doubtful whether it has ever been gathered in Morayshire.

 ing in the Moss of Inshoch, Nairnshire, a plant flowering abundantly, 

 which on examination I found to be indubitably Utricularia minor ; 

 it then struck me that the plant I had found and examined was the
