50 BOTANICAL EXCURSIONS MADE BY 
Numerous deer were seen to-day, as well as ptarmigan and 
grouse. We returned by the road leading to the gamekeeper’s 
house, and thence along the banks of the river to Braemar, 
Messrs. Morse and Gilby swimming across the Dee. 
Thursday, 12th August 1847. 
We this day crossed the Dee again, and after walking for about 
two miles we ascended a stream which leads directly to Craigendal. 
Here we met the gamekeeper, who conducted us to the place 
where he had last seen Astragalus alpinus. On the way 
numerous deer were seen. We gathered Pyrola secunda in 
quantity. We found that the astragalus grew in great profusion 
on the northern side of Little Craigendal, rather lower than we 
had anticipated. From my recollection of the original spot at 
which my party picked the plant I was disposed to think that it 
was close to the summit, and thus we had failed in our previous 
day’s examination. This day we picked the plant in profusion 
both in flower and fruit in various places. It is generally 
distributed over one side of the mountain, and there seems to be 
no chance of the plant being eradicated.
