all the plants were gathered within a short walking distance of the 
Inchnadamph Hotel, and a short visit to Loch Inver, about 14 miles 
distant, was rather disappointing from a botanical point of view. 
I am indebted to Mr. Knight for a good deal of assistance in pre¬ 
paring the following list, in which the species marked with an 
asterisk appear to be new vice-county records for West Sutherland- 
shire:— 
Conoceplialum conicum (L.) Hum. Glum Dubli. 
*Preissia quadrata (Scop.) Nees. On the limestone, c.fr. 
Aneura multijida (L.) Dum. Sphagnum bogs.— A. latifrons 
Lindb. Moist peat near Inchnadamph. 
Metzgeria fur cat a (L.) Hum. Trees and rocks. It was very 
common on rather dry rocks near Loch Inver, often c.fr.— * 31 . pu- 
bescens (Schrank) Raddi Limestone cliffs, Inchnadamph. 
* Fossombronia Dumor fieri (Hueb & Genth.) Lindb. Shore of 
Loch Assvnt, c.fr.

Gymnomitrium concinnatum (Liglitf.) Corda Ben Fhurain, alt. 
ca. 2250 ft.— G. obtusum (Lindb.) Pears, and * G. crenulatum 
Gottsche. Allt Poll an Droighinn.— G. adustum Nees. Near Inch¬ 
nadamph.— *G. alpinum (Gottsche) Schiffn. var. heterophyllum 
Bernet, Ben Fhurain. 
*Marsupella ustulata Spruce. Allt Poll an Droighinn, c.per.—•

(Ehrli.) Dum. Near Inchnadamph.— *31. Fearsoni Schiffn. Allt 
Poll an Droighinn.— 31. aquatica (Lindenb.) Schiffn. Stream in 
the wood by Loch Assynt.— *31. Sullivantii (De Not.) Evans. Allt 
Poll an Droighinn. 
*Fuealyx paroicus (Schiffn.) Macv. Near Inchnadamph, c.per. 
Haplozia sphcerocarpa (Hook.) Dum. Allt Poll an Droighinn, 
c.per.— *11. cordifolia (Hook.) Dum. Glen Dubli.— H. riparia 
(Tayl.) Dum. On the limestone by the Traligill, Glen Dubli, c.per. 
Jamesoniella Carringtoni (Balf.) Schiffn. Very fine on the 
lower slopes of Ben Fhurain ; not uncommon, but smaller on Meallan 
Liath Mor at an alt. of about 1200 feet with other Atlantic species. 
*Anastrophyllum Donianum (Hook.) Steph. Higher slopes of 
Ben Fhurain, not infrequently with perianths also on Meallan Liath 
Mor at a much lower elevation on a rather dry skree. 
*Ancistrophyllum Jorgensenii Schiffn. A few stems of this 
interesting plant were found in tufts of A. Donianum from Ben 
Fhurain. I sent some to Mr. Macvicar, who submitted them to 
Mr. Jorgensen, and the latter replied “ It must really, I think, be our 
A. Jorgensenii. but it is a considerably larger form (compare Scliiff. 
Hep. eur. exs.).” The following is a translation of Dr. Schiffner’s 
original description in Hedwigia, Bd. xlix. pp. 396 seqq.: — 
Anas trophy Hum Jorgensenii Schiffn. Tufts erect, 15-16 cm. 
high. Stems generally simple, slender but rigid, black, almost 
without rhizoids; leaves approximate (smaller and more distant 
in the more slender stems) subsecund, transversely inserted, patent, 
amplexicaul at the base, concave, margins and apex more or less 
incurved, often with two irregularly longitudinal furrows on the back,
