all the information they aske I for, or hinted might be useful ; and I 

 intimated more than once that more remained behind, in case I could be 

 of any further assistance. Had they desired it, the whole of the material 

 would have been placed in their hands. The sentence which they quote 

 was penned merely with the object of showing that inter-communication 

 existed between us, as I thought that possibly the appearance of so long 

 a list of additional district-records might suggest that the material had 

 been withheld from those engaged on the new Cybele. An accusation of 

 caprice in the case ot the preparation of that work would be absurd.

ALG^E. 



Chaetomorpha crassa at Achill. 



While collecting algae at Achill Island in April, 189S, I found growing 



in some abundance the rare alga, Chatomorpha crassa, Kiitz., which was 



kindly identified for me by Mr. K- M. Holmes. The only locality 



hitherto known for this plant is North Wall, Dublin. That it should 



flourish there, and on the west coast of Ireland, and nowhere else in the 



British Isles, shows how complex are the conditions determining the 



distribution of seaweeds.

PHANEROGAMS. 



Carex punctata, Gaud., in East Cork. 



On September 1st, 189S, I discovered a luxuriant patch of this very 



rare and interesting sedge by the side of a field overlooking the sea 



between Power Head and Ballycottin. This record extends the known 



range of the plant in Ireland eastward by about fifteen miles, and brings 



it into District II. of Cybele Hibemica.

IYlyosotis colllna, Hoffm., in Co. Waterford. 



This plant, which seems to be sparingly distributed in Ireland, occurs 

 plentifully on the sandhills at Tramore, where I found it last summer, 

 thus adding another species to the flora of District II.

Melilotus parviflora in Co. Antrim. 



An alien, first noticed in Ireland in 18S7, in Co. Down (Praeger), there 



are in all four localities for this plant recorded in the new Cybele 



Hibemica. To these may now be added another, namely, Grove Green, 



L,isburn, Co. Antrim, where it occurs in ground now waste, and where, 



in December (189s). it was still i-i flower.
