 list of 115 mosses and 73 hepatics collected near Slieve League in 1902 .

In recent papers on Rhinanthus in the foiirnal of Botany, by Rev. B. S. 

 Marshall (October), and Mr. G. C. Druce (November), a few Irish records 

 for some recent " splits " will be found. 



Archangelica officinalis in Ireland. 



By way of supplenaenting Mr. Praeger's note on this plant in Irish 

 Naturalist for September (p. 246), I would mention that it has been 

 cultivated by me in the garden here for many j-ears ; it has also been 

 cultivated for at least the last thirty years, and is still in the old garden 

 ofSeagoe Rectory, near Portadowu ; and I have known it during the 

 last fifty years in two gardens near Lisburn.
