A Visit to Castletown-Berehaven 193 



are numerous. Potamogeton polygo?iifolius was plentiful ; 

 Apium immdatum, Reich., we gathered in the largest lough 

 (Lough Brandy ?) We descended the rather steep slopes to 

 the valley of Glengariff, the woods of which afford good collect- 

 ing, but it was now too late to do much, so we hurried on to 

 the Belle Vue Hotel, tired after a hard day's work. Next 

 morning we started for Bantry, and on to Cork, where we got 

 the mid-day train, and arrived in Dublin about 5.30 p.m., and 

 thus ended one of those enjoyable excursions not to be for- 

 gotten, and far from being devoid of interest. The time for 

 collecting over such a wide area was very short, and the pace 

 in consequence was very fast. The total number of Phanero- 

 gams and Ferns collected or noted was 165. Of the mosses 

 38 species and varieties were collected, amongst them the 

 following nine species are not reported from Co. Cork in Dr. 

 D. Moore's work on the mosses of Ireland: — Campy lopus 

 longipi his, Bridel., C. setifo litis, Wils., C.flexuosus, Dill., Dis- 

 tichium capillaceum, Br. & Sch., Grimmia trichophylla, Greville, 

 G. lencophoea, Greville, Gymnostomum rupestre, Schwaegr. 

 ( = Mo I Ha ceruginosa, Smith), Brytim psendotriqtietrum, 

 Schwaegr., B. cry thro car pum, Schwaegr. var. B. murorum, 

 Schimp. ( = B. imiralis, Wils.). Fifty species and varieties of 

 Hepatics were collected, many of these in Dunboy wood ; this 

 place and Glengariff would well repay a visit of longer 

 duration. The following twenty-seven have not been reported 

 from the Co. Cork previously, that I am aware of : — Fridlania 

 gcrmana, Taylor, Lcjetinea patens, Lindberg, L.flava, Swartz, 

 L fiava, Spruce (the yellow-green form), L. Moorei, Lindberg, 

 L. ovata, Taylor, Ccphalozia catenulata, Huben, C. bicuspidata 

 var. setulosa, Spruce, C. Lamersiana, Huben, C. curvifolia, 

 Dicks., C. {Odontochisma) demidata, Lindberg, C. divaricata 

 var. Starkii, Spruce, Kantia arguta, Nees, Lcpidozia setacea, 

 Web. (Lindberg), Scapania tmdulatavar. purpurascens, Huben, 

 £\ ?icmorosa, Dumort, S.umbrosa, Schrad., Plagiochila punctata, 

 Tayl., Nardia cre?iulata, Sm. Lindberg, N. gracillima, Sm. 

 Lindberg, N. obovata, Nees, N. hyalina, Lyell, Fossombronia 

 pusilla, Linn., F. angtdosa, Dicks. Pcllia calycina, Nees, 

 Metzgeria conjugata, Dill., Riccardia latifrons, Lindberg, R. 

 pinguis, Linn. To Mr. A. G. More, F.L.S., and Mr. R. 

 Lloyd Praeger I offer my best thanks for their kindness 

 when consulted on matters of doubtful nomenclature.
