The nest from which the V. austriaca were coming must 

 have been very near, as I found them nowhere else, but my 

 most diligent search failed to discover it.

MOSSES NEW TO IRELAND. 



BY REV. H. W. LETT, m.A. 



Three fine mosses have recently been collected in Ireland 

 which appear to be new to the country. Their occurrence in 

 Ireland is interesting, as hitherto they have been known in 

 the British Isles only in a few localities in Scotland. 



Catnpylopus Shawl!, Wils.— Adrigole, uear Glengarriffe, Co. Cork, 



June, 1896; Rev. C. H. Binstead. 

 Catnpylopus Schimperi, Wils. — By the side of the stream, at 1,400 



feet, in Derrymore Glen, near Cahir Conree Mountain, Co. Kerry, 



April, 1899; Rev, H. W. Lett and D. M'Ardle. 

 Dicranum uncinatum, C. M. — On rock faces, at 1,200 ft., by the 



sides of two streamlets on the south-east face of Nephin Mountain, 



Co. Mayo, May, 1901 ; Rev. II. W. Lett and D. M'Ardle. This plant 



was growing in luxuriant cushions in a few places on the shaded 



sides of the little ravines. 



To the above may be added the following notes on three 

 other and rare mosses which have been discovered for the 

 second time in Ireland, and all in new stations : — 



Catnpylopus subulatus, Schpr. — [Cromagloun, Killarney, Co. 



Kerry, June, 1885; Schimper and Wilson.] Near Glengarriffe, Co. 



Cork, June, 1900 ; Rev. C. H. Binstead and Dr. Braithwaite. 

 Hypnum dilatatum, Wils.— [There does not appear to be any 



record of this from Ireland, except that in Dr. Braithwaite's Brit. 



Moss Flora, vol. iii., p. 57— Tore Waterfall, Killarney, 1865, Capt. 



Hutton.] Connor Hill Pass, near Dingle, Co. Kerry, September, 



1897 ; Rev. H. W. Lett and D. M'Ardle.
