it swarms with small trouts. On Loch-na-gar, and more 
especially in its corry, the rocks of which are from 300 to 
800 feet in height, I observed the following species : Al~ 
chemilla alpina, Apargia Taraccici, Salix herbacea, Juncus 
trifidus, Gnaphalium supinum^ Aira alpina, Festuca vivi- 
para, Ruhus ChamcemoruSj Aira alpina, Cerastiupi latifo- 
Hum, Saxifraga stellaris, Veronica alpina, Veronica humi- 
fusa,, Rliodiola rosea, Epilohium alpiiium, E, alsinifolium, 
Sibhaldia procumbens, Hieracium Halleri, CocMearia offi- 
cinalis, Oxyria reniformis, Vaccinium uliginosum. Saxi- 
fraga nivalis and aS'. riviilaris were found there by Dr 
Bainbridge in 1824. A hieracium corresponding precisely 
to the descriptions of H. villosum in Fl. Brit, and Engl. 
Flora occurs among the rocks of Loch-na-gar and other 
mountains in the vicinity. It has no affinity to H. Halleri, 
but is probably an alpine variety of H. murorum or macu- 
latum. 
Among these plants, and extending to within 600 feet of 
the summit of the mountain, occur many others, which, 
commencing at the sea, shew themselves in all intermediate 
situations, where they find soil and shelter suited to their 
nature. The following list comprehends nearly all the 
plants of this description which I have observed on either 
side of the Dee, extending to a height of about 3500 feet : 
Cerastium viscosum, Euphrasia officinalis, Alchemilla 
vulgaris, Pinguicula vulgaris, Rumex acetosa, R, aceto- 
sella. Lychnis dioica, Caltha palustris, TroUlus europcEus, 
Anthoxanthum odoratum, Tormentilla officinalis, Rhinan- 
thus Crista-galli, Hieracium murorum, Hieracium sylva- 
ticum, Stellaria uliginosa, Polygala vulgaris, Geum rivale, 
Gnaphalium dioicum, Ranuncidus acris. If Festuca vivi- 
para^ Veronica humifusa and Apargia Taraxici are merely 
varieties ; Festuca ovina, Veronica serpyllifolia and Apar- 
gia autumnalis may be added to the list. The changes
