VOLUME IX. 



IRISH RUBI. 



BY G. CT.ARIDGE DRUCE, M.\., F.T,.S. 



Dr. Fockr has kindly looked over some Brambles collected 

 by me in Ireland in 189S, and reports as follows. It must be 

 borne in mind, however, that the identification of a Bramble 

 from a single dried specimen is hardly fair even to the most 

 expert specialist, and in some of the following instances I 

 was only able to supply such confessedly imperfect material :-■ 



Rubus Borreri, Bell-Salter— Near Lough Gilly, Co. Armagh. 



R. incurvatuSy Bab. — Near Toome Bridge, Co. Derry. Not given 

 for district xii. in C}'d. Hib. 



R. Leyanus, Rogers— Near Toome Bridge, Derry and Antrim. Not 

 in district xii. in Cyb. Hib. 



R. Crlfflthlanus, Rogers — Cave Hill, Antrim; as this is not 

 included in Cyb. Hib. it will have to be re-gathered. 



R. pllcatus, W. and N.— Near Lough Neagh, Derr}-. 



R. radula, Weihe. — Tollymore Park, Go. Down. 



R. pulcherrimus, Neum. — Lough Gilly, Co. Armagh. Not given

 not previously recorded for Ireland.
