The totals collected were— Spliagnaceae 11, Musci 123, and 

 Hepaticae 53 ; and of these, 5 Spliagnaceae, 21 Musci, and 8 

 Hepaticae are new records for Division 35 — West Donegal ; 

 which, considering the work done during recent years by Mr. 

 J. Hunter and Mr. D. M'Ardle in this same district, is a fair 

 result.

Tory Island. 



The moss flora of Tory Island was found to be restricted to 

 the most common species, and the plants were nowhere met 

 with in any quantit3^ The conditions on the island are un- 

 favourable for mosses, the whole surface, except in odd 

 corners and a few sheltered nooks, being exposed to the full 

 force of all the winds that blow from the Atlantic. And the 

 practice of the inhabitants in continually digging awaj^ the 

 surface vegetation where there is an}- trace of peat in the soil 

 to use for their fuel, has a direct tendency to keep down the 

 growth of these plants.
