As to the number of northern plants occurring at Castle Taylor, I find, 

 on reference to the fourth volume of the "Cybele Britannica," that two 

 species, Saxifrage hgpno-idea and Gentiana verna, are to be removed from 

 the " highland" to the " Scottish" and "intermediate" (Le. mid-British) 

 types. Similarly, Lyeopodium aelaginoides and Galium boreale are to be 

 counted as "highland" (or alpine), instead of " Scottish" (i.e. northern) 

 species. 



Planiago maritima looks slightly different from the sea-side plant ; 

 the same variety occurs at Lough Carra, Mayo (see above); the Hiera- 

 cium is H. iricum, not H. Cerinthoidea. Adding Droaera anglica, Equi- 

 setum variegcUum, Parnaaaiapalustris, Pinguicula vulgaris, to the northern 

 plants, we should have still nine for the highland, and twelve for the 

 Scottish type (including the intermediate). 



The species to be referred, " sewmdarily" (see Cybele, iv., 509) to 

 the same groups are — 1. Tothe high land Qyatopteria fragilis (B. h.), 

 which, it will be seen, has not been deducted from the Scottish type 

 plants, as it is so much more abundant in the north. 2. To the Scottish 

 type belong, secondarily, Gentiana campestris, Comarum palustre, Geum 

 rivale, ifabenaria viridis> Sparganium minimum, Scirpua ccespitosus, and 

 Eriophorum vaginatum. Geranium sanguineum, Carex atricta, and Vac- 

 cinium Oxycoccoa> similarly marked B. i. in the Cybele, will complete the 

 list of northern speciea found at Castle Taylor. 



From the Atlantic type plants have now to be deducted Drosera 

 intermedia and Hypericum Audroacemum (marked E.' and E. b.) Sedum 

 anglicum may be added to this group; this will reduce its number from 

 six to five, being about half of the Atlantic type plants which occur in 

 all Connaught, as marked in a list kindly checked for me by Mr. D. 

 Moore. 



The two Ophridea, 0. muscifera and 0, apifera, are now to be counted 

 among the English rather than Germanic type, being marked E. g. in the 

 Cybele Britannica. 



On the other hand, we shall have still three species, Orchia pyra- 

 midalisy Monotropa Hypapitys, and Bromu* erectua, to represent the 

 flora of the south-east of England, besides seven other plants marked 

 with the small g. by Mr. Watson, via., Oplvridea 2, Spiraea Filipendula, 

 JEnanthe Phellandrium } Gentiana Amarella, Potamogeton plantagineua, 

 Laatrea Thelypteria.
