one, numbering nearly 600 species of phanerogams and higher crypto- 

 gams. Alpine plants are, however, very poorl}' represented, as are also 

 plants of the Atlantic type; while plants of the Germanic and Hibernian 

 t^-pes are altogether absent. The Hawkweed flora of the district is rich, 

 fourteen different forms occurring. Of these, Hicracium anratiivi is new 

 to Ireland, and H. argenteum has only previously been recorded from Co. 

 Galway. Riibus ammobius is also an addition to the Irish list. Besides 

 the above, the following are additions to the flora of district 12 of 

 "Cybele Hibernica" : — Drosera intermedia, Rulms nitidus, Rosa involuta (tj'pe), 

 Saussurea alpina. Eighteen* of the species enumerated are new county 

 records. An appendix is given in which are entered plants which have 

 been recorded from the district, but which the present reporters failed to 

 refind. Among these, we note with interest that the Aspleniiim aciitiun, 

 recorded by Sherard from the Mourne mountains, turns out to be a form 

 of Athyriuni filix-fcemina.
