LXXXII. ORKNEY ISLES.

DR. GILLIES favoured me with a MS. Flora or Catalogue of Orkney plants, drawn up from his own observations, those of Mr. Alexander Duguid, the list of plants given in Barry's History of Orkney, and Mr. Neill's List of additional plants observed during his tour. For the latter, however, I refer to the Tour, instead of taking them from Dr. Gillies's Flora. In addition, the Rev. G. Gordon was kind enough to obtain a checked catalogue of Orkney plants, by the Rev. Charles Clouston, of Sandwick, Stromness; but that of Dr. Gillies is referred to in preference, as usually mentioning the stations of the rarer plants. The coincidence of some names, belonging to species very unlikely to be found here, with those in Barry's list, induces me to presume the catalogue of Mr. Clouston to have been also partly made out from Barry's list; and, consequently, that we have not any additional authority in support of their existence within Orkney. It appears better at once to reject the following: - Arabis alpina, Draba hirta, Silene nutans, Orobus niger, Pyrus domestica, Saxifraga cæspitosa, Peucedanum Ostruthium, Melampyrum sylvaticum, Veronica spicata, Juncus filiformis, Agrostis spica-venti, Panicum crus-galli.
