Mr Beotheeston, who had been early astir, brought to the 

 meeting specimens of Linnoea horealis, Lemna trisulca, Sparganium 

 minimum, Chara fragilis, Lastrea spinulosa, and Sypnum crista- 

 castrensis, Stellaria glauca, Goodyera repens, which he had that 

 morning picked up in the course of a walk through part of 

 Mellerstain Woods and Gordon Moss, and reported that he had 

 seen orpine {Sedum telephium) growing on the roadside. In the 

 Moss, Mr Brotherston saw many forms .of Salix cinerea, S. aurita 

 and repens with their hybrid amhigua. 8. pentandra, especially 

 the narrow-leaved form, was plentiful ; nigricans and phylicifolia 

 rarer. A single tree of 8. decipiens was observed on the old 

 margin of the bog. 



On the 3rd of August, the Eev. William Stobbs in examining 

 Huntly wood, to his great surprise and delight, came upon a 

 considerable patch of Linnma horealis in the wood, which furnishes 

 a new locality for that botanically classical plant in the South of 

 Scotland. Just beside the Linnc&a he came upon the Goodyera 

 repens also. In the same situation he got the Pyrola minor. On 

 the 18th of August, Mr Stobbs went to the woods in the north- 

 east of the parish behind Eawside, and gathered Lister a ovata, 

 and a very luxuriant form of a Primula, which is either a cow- 

 slip or an oxlip, but not being in flower it could not be deter- 

 mined. Lycopodium clavatum grows in one of the plantations 

 near the manse.
