Having arranged to re-assemble at 4.30 atthe house, the members scattered, each on his diffei'ent pursuit<strong>and</strong> when they re-assembled the botanists seemed pleased withtheir finds, but it was not a favourable day for the entomologists.Tlie following plants were found Ranuticulus hederaceus,:B. Flamimda, R. Drouetii, Chelidonncm majus, Cardaminesylvatica, Cochlearia officinalis, Draba ver-iia, Viola palustris (yetin flower), Polygala vulgaris, Hyj)ericuw, pulchriivi, <strong>and</strong> H. tetraptericm(not yet in flower), Ornithojnis pe^-pusilhts, Vicia hirsuta,V. anyustifolia, Orohus tuberosus. One or two shrubs of theBullace Pritnus insititia (rare)—were noticed, <strong>and</strong> some finetrees of the horn-beam Carpinus Betulus ; Sedum anglicum,Hydrocotyle vulgaris, Cicuta virosa, Carum verticillatum, Coniuinmaculatum, Chlora perfoliata, Menyanthes trifoliata (abundant),Scrophukiria iiodosa, Linaria Cymbalaria, Myosotis palustris, M.Collina, M. versicolor, Glaux maritima, Statice limonium (rare),Luzula pilosa, L. Sylvatica, Blysmus rufus, Carex dioica, C.vulgaris, C. glauca, C. jmllescens, C. jMiiicea, C. ampullacea, C.arenaria, <strong>and</strong> the Star of Bethlehem Ornithogalum lombellatum.The scaly fern (Ceterach officinarum) is yet firmly established onOrchardton Old Tower, <strong>and</strong> several plants of the hart's tonguewere observed growing between the stones, which is i-ather anunusual situation. Neither of these ferns were interfered withby the party, <strong>and</strong> we trust visitors to this old tower will in futurealso respect them, as they are now very rarely met with in theSouth of Scotl<strong>and</strong>. The variety Borreri of Neplirodium Filix-maswas met with in abundance, <strong>and</strong> the Moonwort (BotrychiumLunaria) was observed in all the old pasture fields.Moffat <strong>and</strong> Beld Craig.— 2noJ July, 1887.The Third Meeting of the Session was held as a joint excursionwith the Scottish <strong>Natural</strong> <strong>History</strong> Club (Edinburgh) in theneighbourhood of Mofiat.
