and Artemisia maritima was found abundantly at Burrowhead, near Cragleton 
Castle, and at St Mary's Isle, more sparingly in a few other places between the 
first and second stations. The neighbourhood of Kirkcudbright is quoted as a 
Scotch station for Lathyrus latifolius. It was accordingly found abundantly in 
the woods at St Mary's Isle, but it is known certainly to have been introduced 
many years ago. Solanum nigrum, which is by no means a common plant in 
Scotland, and perhaps only occurs where introduced, was observed in dense 
masses growing in the neighbourhood of Sandhead, and to the northward of Port 
William, on three or four spots where sea-weed had formerly been laid up to 
dry. 
The pools were examined on the whole route, and inquiry made everywhere 
for Cladium mariscus, but no trace of it was seen or heard of ; and a suspicion 
necessarily arose regarding the correctness of a statement, that the plant is abund- 
ant in Galloway. Does it exist there at all ? Has Galloway been inadvertently 
substituted for Galway ? There it does grow R. G. 
Calothrix distorta, Hook. Br. Flor. ii. 369 This pretty and rather rare Al- 
gae was found by Mr Selby and myself in Newham Lough, August 15, 1836. 
It is a new acquisition to the Flora of Northumberland. G. J. 
Jungermannia Mackaii This plant was observed growing on some rocks by 
the sea side near Drumore, Galloway, in the month of August last. It is a rare 
species, confined to the British Islands, and no Scottish station for it has been 
hitherto placed on record R. K. G. 
The genus Rubus. In Koch's Synopsis Flora GermanictB et Helvetia, re - 
cently published, the species of this most difficult genus are reduced to five, viz. 
R. Idceus, fruticosus, ccesius, saxatilis, and chamcemorus. The number of spe- 
cies in the British Flora is thirteen. The German and Swiss roses are all re- 
ferred by Koch to seventeen species R. K. G. 
The genus Adoxa This plant, referred by some botanists to Saxifragea, by 
others to Araliacece, is placed by Koch among the Caprifoliacece. He observes 
that it is closely allied to Sambucus in the parts of fructification R. K.G.
