SPECIMENS EXHIBITED. 



By Dr. Stirfcon. — A peculiar form of Dicranum glaciale, Berge, 

 in fine fruit, from the summit of Lochnagar, collected this month, 

 by Mrs. W. R. Watson. This moss, in the few localities in which 

 it has been met with, is nearly always barren ; but from the pre- 

 sent specimen it is now seen that the fruit is deeply sulcate 

 instead of smooth, and that the stems are characterised by a degree 

 of radiculosity which has not hitherto been described. 



By Mr. Gr. Harper. — A growing specimen of a dichotomous 

 variety of Asplenium Jilix-foemina found near Stewarton. This 

 variety has the fronds much branched, and differs much in appear- 

 ance from the usual form. 



By Mr. A. Watt. — A specimen of Utricularia vulgaris collected 

 in Aberdeenshire. 



By Mr. G. Horn. — Allium scorodoprasum, L., collected near 

 Bothwell.

 found at the foot of Ben Voirlich.
