than that of Craig Chailleach, and which I took to be 

 Mael Grew, or Mael Greadha. I estimated this summit to 

 be 1100 yards in altitude. I have also seen the Adoxa at 

 600 or 700 yards of elevation in Caernanonshire. Though 

 I can give no authority for its occurrence in the province 

 of the West Highlands, there would seem every likelihood 

 of its existence there. In Surrey, I find the Adoxa only 

 in shaded dells and woods ; but in Devon it is frequent on 

 hedge-banks, as is also the case in the more northern 

 counties.
