directly on the eastern side of Glen Dole to Jock’s Road. 
Visited falls of White Water, and then walked along its banks 
for about a quarter of a mile, and turned to the west over the 
hills on the left at the place where there is a depression in the 
ridge, and reached at once Little Gilrannoch. Picked Cochlearia 
sranlandica, Lychnis alpina (mostly in fruit), Cherleria sedotdes,

party gathered Epzlobium alsinifolium, Carex aquatilis, Alope-
