Native. Pascual and Glareal. Frequent through the 

 Agi"arian region, but infi-equent above the limit of cultiva- 

 tion. I observed it in several places about Castletown, 

 Aberdeenshire, from 1400 to 1700 feet of elevation, and 

 Dr. Dickie mentions 1800 feet in the same neighbourhood; 

 so that it would appear slightly to exceed the upper limit 

 of cultivated gi-ound.
