Newliani Bog, Nortlunuljerlaiid, affords a most attractive 

 field to the botanist, who in August will di,sco\er at its 

 Northern end, among plants worthy of mention, a wonderful 

 display of Kound-leaved Winter-green (Fyrola rotaitdljolla), 

 ]Marsh Helleborine ( Epipaotis pafustris), and that very rare 

 Orchis, Coral-root (CornUorhiza iiinata), all growing luxuriantly 

 side by side.

 Thornton Loch, about half a mile distant, then Eastward along 

 the coast to the mouth of the Dunglass Burn, Cove cliffs and 

 the beach at the outflow of the Pease Burn, whence a line 

 may. be struck, passing the residence in later life of the late 

 Dr Hardy, to the moor above Penmanshiel, where a path leads 

 directly to the Edinburgh road and Grant's House Station.
