{Samhticus nigra L. U. Only seen when planted in gardens.) 



(Lonicera Periclymenum L. Seen on and about houses only, 

 though one native said that it was from loild plants.) 



Scabiosa Succisa L. U, 0. In some places between Ollaberry 

 and Ronas Hill, especially near the Whaling Station at the head 

 of Ronas Voe; this gave a sheen to the landscape at a con- 

 siderable distance.

(I collected one or two small rosettes of leaves on the summit- 

 plateau of Ronas Hill ; I have no doubt as to these being very 

 dwarfed Satissurcea alpina, with which I am familiar both in 

 Britain and Norway, but as the specimens have been misplaced or 

 lost, I leave this species out of the list.) 



Garduus lanceolatus L. U, 0. — C. arvensis Robson. U, 0. — 

 G. palicstris L. 0. 



Hypochcsris radicata L. U. Only a little in one place. 



Leontodon auticmnalis L. U, 0. Abundant in both places, 

 cven to the summit of Ronas Hill (1475 ft.). All I examined 

 seemed to be vajV. pratensis Koch., involucres shaggy, plants three 

 to four inches high, with one inflorescence. 



Taraxacum officinale Web. U, Sc. Seldom seen, and little 

 of it. 



Sonchus arvensis L. U, Sc. A weed of cultivation. 



These imperfect notes may be of some use to future investiga- 

 tors and (as previously indicated) apply only to a part of Shetland, 

 and also represent what is possible to be fairly easily observed, 

 when doing other work also, during but part of one month. 

 They represent part of a preliminary examination of the flora
