 of doubt respecting its identity with the common English 

 species. The numeral which corresponds with the East 

 Highland province [15], is enclosed in the line of Area, 

 owing to an uncertainty about a locality for H. repens, 

 which was placed under the county of Aberdeen, in the 

 New Guide ; namely, " side of the river Fergus, a little 

 above the Bridge of Ennis" (Hook. Scot.).
