PROFESSOR JOHN HuTTON BALFOUR. 435 
From Borgue village went to the shore at Kirkandrew, visited 
the rocks on the shore, and collected :— 
Silene maritima Haloscias scoticum 
Lepigonum marinum Aster Tripolium 
Sedum anglicum Artemisia maritima 
Crithmum maritimum Carlina vulgaris 
Omnibus met the party at Kirkandrew, and they proceeded by 
Margay to Gatehouse. 
Friday, 7th August 1868. 
Breakfasted at 7 a.m., and at 8 proceeded by omnibus to 
Drumore Station. Near the station heavy rain came on, and 
some of the party thought it better not to visit the mountain. 
There was a division, therefore, of the party. One ascended the 
hill called Cannismore, 2600 feet above the level of the sea. This 
mountain is one of the highest in the county. It is difficult to 
ascend on the western side, and produces no plants of interest. 
Ascended to the top of the hill, and had a fine view from the 
cairn. Saw the mountains of Kirkcudbright, the Isle of Man, 
Cumberland hills, Ailsa Craig, Arran. 
The rocks facing the east were more crumbling and produc- 
tive, and on them were gathered :— 
Saxifraga stellaris | Cryptogramme crispa 
- hypnoides Lycopodium Selago 
Salix herbacea ss clavatum 
Rhynchospora alba A alpinuni 
(near Drumore) i selaginoides 
Upon the whole, the mountain was very poor as regards alpine 
species. 
The other division of the party proceeded by train to Creetown, 
and examined the shore between it and Gatehouse. 
They collected :— 
Glaucium luteum Vicia sylvatica 
Crambe maritima Lathyrus sylvestris 
Hypericum Androseemum Prunus spinosa 
me dubium Rubus discolor 
quadrangulum Pyrus Malus
