Duncanson, Gabriel Kerr, A. Mactier, John B. Mactier, T. R. 
Marshall, J. S. Sanderson, A. H. Thomson, G. Townley, Rich. 
H. Wake, started on an excursion to Ben Lawers. Left 
Edinburgh by the train at 7 a.m. and reached Stirling about 9. 
Proceeded immediately by coach to Callander, passing through 
the beautiful village of Doune. Coach well loaded, road very 
bad, and on one or two occasions there was some danger of being 
upset. Reached Callander about 12. Ten of the party break- 
fasted there, while the remaining four botanized in the neighbour- 
hood. After breakfast the party proceeded in two carriages to 
Lochearnhead, passing through the Pass of Leny and examining 
the shore of the Teith and of Loch Lubnaig. In Loch Lubnaig 
numerous good plants were seen, but few could be procured on 
account of the swollen state of the waters. A boat aided the 
party in procuring some plants. On reaching Lochearnhead some 
of the party proceeded in one of the carriages with all the baggage 
to Killin, while the rest walked. Reached Killin about 7 p.m.
