887. Lactuca (Mtilgedium) alpinum. This plant was found (probably 

 abnormally) on the Coreen Hills at about 700 feet, but is now extinct 

 (W. W.). 



910. Vaccinium Oxijcoccos, L. "Formerly grew in a piece of mossy 

 land on the uplands north of Mealfourvouny, a hill of Old Red Sandstone 

 conglomerate above 3,000 feet, but whether the plants were of recent 

 introduction or last survivors, they have disappeared (Gr.). 



926. Pliyllodoce taxifolia, Salisb. (Menziesia ccerulea). The only 

 British habitat of this plant is the Sow of Athol, and it has now been 

 nearly extirpated, for sale (K. and F. B. W.). The habitat is within sight 

 of a gamekeeper's house, so that its protection would be easy if the Duke 

 of Athol, the owner, could be moved to that efiect.

 Kirkcudbrightshire, throiagh sheep grazing (J. M. A.).

 "Woodhead Hill, Traqueer, Dumfriesshire (J. W.). Once not uncommon 

 on the Muirhead of Scone ; now very rare, from extirpation by botanists 

 and others (F. B. W.). Formerly abundant within four miles of Forres ; 

 now extirpated ; also from the wood at Brodie, near Forres, from the 

 wood being cut down, and from Coul Woods, near Strathpeffer. It is also 

 disappearing from Rothiemurchen, in this case from the rapacity of col- 

 lectors (K.). 



945. Primula scotica, Hook. Marsh near Edinburgh, Pentland Hills j 

 practically extirpated (Gr. A. P.).

 near Birnie, by extraction, on account of the accidents it had caused 

 (G.). Has not been seen for some years at the Old Kutt, near Ganlude

1,020. Hyoscyamus niger, L. Appeared in two or three places in the 

 neighbourhood of Avooh, a fishing village on the Moray Firth, but dis- 

 appeared in a few years. Informant ' thinks it would come up again if 

 the ground were deeply trenched. Some years ago an old elm was 

 blown down and the root blasted, and for two succeeding summers H. 

 niger grew luxuriantly in the hole caused by the tearing up of the root of 

 the tree' (S. U.fideT.A.).

 one of the chief resorts of the population (T. A.). This is one of its most 

 northern stations.
