4th July 1939.  

A fine day, no rain till 9 P.M., some short, hot, sun bursts, but strong S-SW wind, warm.

Again swept ground under Alder, &c., trees below Kinlochewe, as on afternoon of 3rd, & spent some time about noon on scarp of gravel moraine;  later went up the hill to east & spent an hour in Allt Chnaimhean (which Mrs. McDonald says means "The Burn of the Bones", but does not know why it is so called).  In last locality there was a fine show of plants as it has never been burnt & the deer do not seem to go there:  Sax. aigoides in fine clumps, Alchemilla alpina very abundant, Arctostaphylos uva-ursi one or two plants only, Trollius europaeus in one place abundant, on wet ledge with R. acris & Germ. nivale.

On reaching this "gully" a Buzzard flew up & circled over it, calling, for as long as I stood still.

Transcription Notes:
re Germ. nivale - I think he is referring to Geranium nivale
