mentioned. For example : LimKEa borealis^ Fir-wood opposite 
Fintray, Aberdeenshire, two large patches ; fir-wood in Mid- 
mar, Aberdeenshire. Litliospermum maritimum^ Bay of Nigg, 
near Aberdeen ; Vatersey, one of the Isles of Barrey ; Island 
of Skye, at Kyle-rhea, and other places. Cicuta vlrosa, Islands 
of Pabbey, Bernerey and Ensey, of the Herries ; Ord, in the 
island of Skye ; near the head of Lochfyne, opposite Carndu, 
Argyleshire ; near Gatehouse, Kirkcudbrightshire ; near Kil- 
drummy Castle, Aberdeenshire ; at Leuchars, near Elgin, Mo- 
rayshire, &c. Botrycliium Lunaria, at Arisaig, Inverness-shire ; 
in the Outer Hebrides plentiful ; in Towie, Aberdeenshire ; 
abundant in many places along the coast from Aberdeen to 
Newburgh. To enumerate more examples of this kind, would 
be a tedious task ; only it may be mentioned, that the Hordeum 
murinum^ contrary to the suspicion of Mr Arnott, grows north 
of the Forth, namely, near Elgin ; while Orobanclie rubra is not 
confined to basaltic districts, as imagined, but grows among the 
gneiss of the Herries, perched upon a rock at the head of the 
sand of Bencapval. Of the third class, Circcea alpina, is com- 
mon in the middle Highland districts ; Utricularia interinedia, 
in the outer range of Hebrides ; S ester ia coeridea^ every where 
in the West and North Highlands and Hebrides; Anagallis 
arvensis^ chiefly along the west coast ; Conlum maculaium^ not 
found in the Outer and Northern Hebrides ; Nymphcea alba^ 
very common in the pools and lakes of the Hebrides ; Lobelia 
Dortmanna^ in almost every lake of Scotland, but particularly 
abundant in the Outer Plebrides ; Serraiula alpina, in the valleys 
of the Plighlands, from Braemar to the vrest coast, and from 
Lochlomond to Lochbroom. But to enumerate the whole of 
this kind,'^mentiomng their distribution even in a general manner 
as above, is not consistent with our present view. 
Remarks regarding soil, situation, and altitude, are but thin- 
ly interspersed through the Flora Scotica. How interesting the 
latter subject might have been made, let those consider, who have 
read the extract from Dr Wahlenberg' s Observations, made 
with a view to determine the height of the Lapland Alps,” ap- 
pended to the Lachesis Lapponica of Linnaeus, edited by Smith. 
Soil, in general, is not a subject of primary importance, as a very 
great proportion of plants grow nearly equally well in almost all
