Notices of Localities for Rare Plants. By P. W. Mac- 

 lagan, M. D. 



(From a letter to the Secretary). 



Berwick, 4:th Septemler 1884. 

 My Dear Sir, — I think it will interest you to see the follow- 

 ing list of plants found in Northumberland, by the Rev. H. E. 

 Fox of Durham, who has been passing a holiday at Bamburgh. 

 I have specimens of them to be placed in the Museum here. I 

 was surprised at Corallorhiza, considering how many people have 

 collected over Newham Loch. 



Corallorhiza innata. Newham Loch. 

 Radiola millegrana. Eoss Links. 

 Centunculus minimus. Eoss Links. 



AUhea officinalis. By the border at Fleetham — perhaps intro- 

 duced but well established. 

 Fumaria confusa and F. micrantha. Holy Island. 

 Rumex maritimus. On rubbish near Christon Bank — a casual 



probably. 

 Melilotus arvensis. Same station. 

 (The last I got behind Berwick pier some years ago). 



Notes on the Ettrick. By James Hardy. 



As PRELIMINARY to the notices on Ettrick, which the Presi- 

 dent's Address may have led members to expect, I may mention 

 that for the present I can only take up three ; — 1 ; a notice by the 

 late Mr William Kemp, Galashiels, contributed to a local news- 

 paper, which I am desirous of preserving, as containing the 

 remarks of an accurate, but imperfectly appreciated observer, 

 on a subject pertinent to our visit. Mr Kemp was one of the 

 earliest inquirers into the subject of ** Ancient Sea Margins," 

 about which we have heard so much since — 2 ; notice of a small 

 socketed bronze celt of which Mr Andrew Currie has sent me a 

 drawing, now engraved, with the particulars of its discovery — 3 ; 

 a list from Lord Napier and Ettrick, which his lordship made at 

 my request, of the family records and objects of local interest 

 in his family's possession, which he had been previously asked 

 to show to the Club. Whether these notes will be followed by 

 others I am not prepared to say, but on several topics my infor- 

 mation is still incomplete from defect of documentary and
