-of Nigg, near Abci-deen, but not since 1800 (J. W. H. T.). Found sixty 

 years ago at iloutrosc Links ; not now (R. ]j.). 



184. Dianthns Armeria, L. Occurred, though not abundantly, in 

 rough pasture near Glencarso Station, Perthsliire ; has been entirely 

 destroyed through the cultivation of the ground (F. B. W.). This was 

 one of its most northern stations. 



207. Lychnis viscaria, L. Blackford Hill, Midlothian ; now very 

 jare (G. A. P.). Arthur's Seat, Edinburgh; supposed to be extj''pated 

 (G.A. P.). 



208. Lychnis alpina. Is now becoming rare in its habitats on Clova 

 Mountains (G. A. P.). 



263. Hypericum perforatum, L. Formerly grew plentifully near 

 Cromarty Nursery, but has ceased to exist, as the ground is now used 

 for agricultural purposes (T. A.). This was one of its most northern 

 stations. 



264. Hypericum qiiadrangulum, L. Has wholly disappeared from the 

 vicinity of Fortrose, Ross-shire, having been eaten by cattle or trodden 

 down (T. A.). This was one of its most northern stations. 



368. Lotus pilosus, Beeke. Extinct round Alford, Mid- Aberdeenshire, 

 from cultivation (W. W.). 



374. Oxytropis uralensis, D. C. Grew in abundance near Invergorden, 

 Ross-shire, but on one occasion the medical man of the town saw a man 

 digging it up with a trowel, and it is now extinct (T. A.). 



375. Oxytropis campestris,D. C. Rocks at Bradoony, Clova; now very 

 rare ; extirpated from all accessible parts of the rocks (G. A. P.). 



406. Lathyrus nigcr, Wimra. Has well-nigh disappeared from its 

 station at Killiecrankie Pass, owing to the late guide to the Pass showing 

 it to all tourists. An appeal to the proprietor might save the rest of the 

 specimens, of which very few stations exist (F. B. W.). 



501. Agrimonia Eupatoria^ L. Becoming very scarce in Glen Urqu- 

 hart, Inverncss-shirc (Gr.). This was one of its most northern stations. 



525. Pyrus Aria, Sm. One specimen only (? P. fennica, L.) known 

 in Arran; now lost through injury (G. A. P.). Lost also from one or 

 two other stations on the Western Highlands, and now very rare in 

 Scotland. 



570. Sedum reflexum, L. Found freely on a wall at Birnie, Elgin ; 

 disappeared through repairs (G.). Not native. 



575. Drosera anglica, Huds. Extinct in Kincardine (M.). Extinct 

 round Alford, Mid-Aberdeen, through drainage (W. W.). 



577. Hippuris vxdgaris, L. Extinct round Alford, Mid-Aberdeen, but 

 still appears on the borders of Banffshire. 



611. Eryngium maritimum, L. Found in the early part of the century 

 on the sandy coa.st at St. Cyrus, near Montrose, and at St. Fergu.s, Peter- 

 head, but extinct in both localities from unknown causes (J. W. H. T. 

 and R. B.). 



687. Liimcea horealis, Gronov, Has been cleared from near Ding- 

 wall, Ross-shire, owing to the Avood in which it grew having been cut 

 down and the ground cultivated (T. A.). Formerly grew at Ivingsmills, 

 but has been destroyed through cultivation (G. A.,fuleT. A.). These are 

 two of the most northern British stations. 



812. Silybum Marianuvi, Gaertn. Has gone from the rocks near 

 Tarbet-ness Lighthouse, Ross-shire (D.). This plant is very rare in 

 Scotland.
