?8 The Irish Naturalist. March; 



IRISH SPHAGNA. 



BY WILLIAM A. LEP:. 



The list of Irish Sphagna pubhshed in the Irish 

 Naturalist for February, 1922, can now be supplemented 

 by further records which have become available. They 

 include some kindly placed at my disposal and a few which 

 resulted from my own gatherings, mainly in the counties 

 of Dublin and Wicklow last year. In all cases the speci- 

 mens have been examined by Mr. J. A. Wheldon, M.Sc, 

 to whom I am under much obligation. The records are 

 additions to the botanical divisions indicated and, where 

 an asterisk appears, the name was not included in my 

 previous list : —
