The above are the only Ferns of whose existence in the district there is evidence at present; but there is reason to expect the addition to the list of at least one species--Polypodium alpestre, which has been recorded from so many Scotch localities. Probably it has been overlooked, being mistaken for the very similar Athyrium Filix-foemina, from which it differs, however, in the round sort, devoid of indusium. Mosses. The subjoined list makes no pretensions to be exhaustive for the district; but only affords a basis for future work. Nor does it include the Liverworts (Hepaticoz). The arrangement and nomenclature are those of the London Catalogue of Mosses. I wish to take this opportunity of expressing my indebtedness for much-valued assistance in preparing the list to Dr. Braithwaite and the Revs. John Fergusson of Fern, and T. Bell of Keig.
