32 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY
While in existing records reference is made to the variability of the
species, no attempt, as far as I know, has been made to separate
the two forms with regard to the localities where they have been
found. Definite observations are much wanted as to whether the
type form and the so-called variety occur separately or together in
the particular localities. The variety is so very well marked that
this should be attended to carefully with the view to settle the
claims of quadrifasciatus to the more exalted rank of a species.

[Names of plants in italics, except as synonyms within curved brackets, denote
that the plants were certainly introduced into Scotland by man. f after a
district -number denotes introduction by man into the district; "cas."
denotes casual occurrence, and "esc." evident escape or outcast from cultivation,
both being due to man's agency. Square brackets enclosing the
name of a plant or a district-number denote that the record was made in
error. ? after a district-number denotes, at least, need of confirmation ;
after + it denotes doubt as to whether the plant owes its presence in the
district to man. The SALICACE/E, accidentally omitted from their proper
place in our last issue, will be included in the Supplement. Corrections
and additions to the records now published will be gratefully received and
acknowledged by the compiler, whose earnest wish it is to supply an accurate
statement of our present knowledge of the distribution of the uncultivated
plants of Scotland, whether native or introduced by man intentionally or
