i«99-J Adams. — Hordeum sylvaticum, &c, in Irela?id. 59 



I found Carex pauciflora near a lakelet in the mountains 

 above Carnlough. This little sedge was first discovered in 

 Ireland by Mr. L,ett a few years ago on the mountains above 

 Glenariff. 



Poterium officinale occurs very abundantly in a meadow at 

 Ardclinis, about a mile north of Carnlough. This is probably 

 not a new locality, but I mention it because it is more definite 

 than the somewhat vague statement " near Carnlough." 



Sedum rupestre occurs on the face of a rock overhanging the 

 Glenariff river. 



Galium Mollugo occurs in two places on the lawn at the 

 Manse, Antrim. 



There is an extensive bog north-east of Randalstown called 

 Sluggan Bog (at least the name is so pronounced by the people 

 in the neighbourhood), lying between the River Main and the 

 Belfast and Northern Counties Railway. Here I found 

 Vacci?iium Oxycoccos and V. Vitis-idcea growing side by side in 

 one particular spot in the bog called " The Island." 



NOTES. 



The Belfast Club is to be congratulated on the success of its Hon. 

 Secretary's " Introductory talks on Geology." We are glad to learn that 

 nineteen members turned up at Mr. Phillips' first evening, and several 

 others at the second "Talk," some of whom joined the Club for the 

 express purpose of studying geology under Mr. Phillips' friendly 

 guidance. 



The summer excursions of the Dublin Club have been arranged as 

 follows : — April 29, St. Doolaghs ; May 27, Ireland's Eye; June 27 to 29, 

 three days on the Shannon (Athlone as- centre) ; July 22, though Bray, 

 August 19, Kilcool ; September 30, Dunran (fungus foray). The " long 

 excursion" offers particular attractions. With the aid of the new.Shannon 

 steamers, Lough Ree and a considerable portion of the Shannon will 

 be easily explored — a district full of interest to the naturalist, and very 

 imperfectly known. 



Through the agency of the Field Club Union, members of the northern 

 and southern Clubs have supplied Professor Conwentz, Director of the 

 Provinzial-Museum, Danzig, with specimens of subfossil woods from
