I shall just particularize another locality, to which frequent refer- 

 ence will be made in the catalogue. Near the suburb of Maxwelton 

 there is, or rather has been, a system of small lochs, now all drained, 

 with the exception of the last of the series, itself considerably reduced 

 in size. This little district, while it may be said to present an epit- 

 ome of the dale in its geographical details, affords also almost every 

 species found in the valley, with others — such as Carex limosa, C. fi- 

 liformis, Eriophorum pubescens, Lysimachia vulgaris and Lycopus 

 europaeus — that have not been observed in any other part of the latter. 



These circumstances, together with its proximity to the town, ren- 

 der it the favourite haunt of our Dumfries botanists.
