On cliffs to the west saw plenty of Mulgedium alpinum, but 
none of it in flower. A purple specimen was picked by Dr. B. 
approaching to flower, but all the others showed no symptoms of 
flowering this season. Draba incana was also seen. Ascended 
to top of the hill, and then walked towards the bridge, where the 
conveyance met the party and conveyed them to Braemar. 
Saturday, 11th August 1849. 
Weather still bad. Six of the party went by a conveyance 
about three miles beyond the Linn of Dee, on the road to 
Croachlach. Left the conveyance at the bridge and proceeded 
on the west side of the Dee as far as the Braeriach ridge. A 
long walk amidst rain and mist. On the way saw Aradis petrea, 
and in pools Ranunculus Flammula, var. reptans, and Ltttorella 
lacustris. 
Ascended Braeriach ridge with the view of reaching summit 
of Cairntoul and picking Carex leporina; but the weather was 
so bad that the party found it impossible to do so.
