One of the most interesting hills ae was Gulvain, with its 
crags on the north-eastern face of this mountain deserve better 
exploration than time would allow me to give them. It was here 
I saw Cochlearia micacea, Cares stellulata var. grypus, C. pulla, &e.

Two very delight tful eng were spent at Invermoidart, on the 
west coast, at the invitation of Mr. 8. M. Maevicar, who very kindly 
showed me several interesting species eat in the neighbourhood 
of Loch Moidart. I age indicated by Mr. Macvicar’s initials all 
those plants noted in his company. 
All the fe sana reson are within Watson’s vice-county 97, 
but some (indicated by A) are in that portion of Argyll that he in- 
cluded with West ee to re that vice-county, Westerness.
