have been denied to me ; the records that he has kindly furnished, where 
my own were deficient, are acknowledged by being placed in brackets, with 
his initials. 
The observational work for this paper was done in the field chiefly during 
the summer and autumn of 1905. The preparation for the press has been 
considerably retarded by other duties ; hence the delay in the publication of 
the paper, for which I apologise. 
Since the first part of this contribution was written a number of changes 
in nomenclature have been suggested. As it would appear to savour 
of inconsistency, besides adding an element of confusion, to give the same 
plant a different name in the second part of a publication to that which it 
bore in the first part, I have acknowledged the change in most cases by 
adding the new name in italics enclosed by brackets, after the old name, in 
the Systematic List of Plants. 
In order to facilitate comparison, I have included in the succeeding 
Systematic List of Plants the numerals that represent the Areas discussed 
in a former contribution (ante, p. 971) ; a few plants, however, are enumer- 
ated there that are not mentioned in this paper. The whole of the Areas 
at present examined are therefore included in the following list, and the 
occurrence of the plants in each of the seven Areas investigated is indicated 
by the numerals after the authority, viz. — 
I. The Ness Area. 
II. Island of Lismore. 
III. Lochs of Nairn. 
IY. N.W. Kirkcudbrightshire. 
Y. S.E. Kirkcudbrightshire. 
YI. Wigtownshire. 
YII. Fife and Kinross. 
The remarks after the numerals in the following list, unless especially 
indicated, refer only to Areas IY. to YII. inclusive. I hope to deal in a 
future contribution with the internal and external morphology of some of 
the plants ; such matters are therefore excluded from the present pages.
