alpinum. The most common Polytrichum on the mountains, but most 



of my specimens were culled on the summit of Craigalleach, in the calm twi- 

 light of a summer's evening, after a day's laborious ramble over the whole range 

 from Larich-an-Lochan. On the same spot (upwards of 3000 feet high) I last 

 year had the misfortune to sprain my right ancle severely ; and what I then suf- 

 fered in the descent, and for two months after, would have cured many a one of 

 botanizing for ever : but somehow or other, it only tended to increase my enthu- 

 siasm, and this prompted me in the present season to revisit that glorious moun- 

 tain-altar, and there offer up to heaven grateful thanks for my recovery, and for 

 the pure pleasure I continued to enjoy from the love of Nature's works.
