WHILST spending a few days in Arran, the attention of the Author was drawn to the numerous pre-historic monuments scattered over the Island. The present small Work embraces an account of these in- teresting remains, prepared chiefly from careful personal observation. The concluding Part contains a description of the monu- ments of a later period the chapels and castles of the Island to which a few brief historical notices have been appended. Should the persual of these pages induce a more thorough investigation into these stone-records of the ancient history of Arran, the object of the Author shall have been amply attained. The Author begs here gratefully to acknowledge the kind- ness and assistance rendered him by JOHN BUCHANAN, Esq. of Glasgow; JAMES NAPIEE, Esq., F.C.S., &c., Killin; the Rev. COLIN F.

  • Notes on the Hawkweeds (Hieracium Sensu Lato) of Western Scotland
    Watsonia, 8, 97-120 (1970). 97 Notes on the Hawkweeds (Hieracium sensu lato) of western Scotland A. G. KENNETH and A. McG. STIRLING Stronachullin, Ardrishaig, Argyll; 17 Austen Road, Jordanhill, Glasgow W3 ABSTRACT The distribution of species of Hieracium sensu stricto and the subspecies ofPilosella officinarum C. H. & F. W. Schultz in west and north-west Scotland is indicated for those areas and taxa of which the authors have personal knowledge. Corrections are included for the Distribution Maps of certain species as shown in the Critical Supplement. Ecological information is given for the species of Hieracium and their distribution is discussed in relation to the areas visited within each vice-county. A key to the genus Pilosella and an Index of Place Names are given as Appendices. INTRODUCTION Our knowledge of the distribution of the genus Hieracium in Scotland owes much to the explorations of certain English botanists in the period between 1850 and 1918. Notable among these were J. Backhouse Jnr, E. F. and W. R. Linton, Henry Groves, F. J. Hanbury, E. S. Marshall, W. A. Shoolbred and G. C. Druce, all of whom collected in the central and north western Highlands. After the first world war little attention was paid to this genus by British field botanists, due mainly to a lack of taxonomists competent to undertake determination of specimens. It was not until the commencement of the B.S.B.1. Distribution Maps Scheme in 1954 that they were encouraged by the intensive taxonomic study of the genus being undertaken by P. D. Sell and Dr C.
