 and Reynella. 



Cnlcus pratensis, Willd.— At Ladestown, near L. Ennel.

% Centaurea Cyanus, L.— (VII.) Knock Drin, in cultivated fields. 



Crepis paludosa. Mcench. — Scraw bog, Loughanstown, and shore 

 of Derevaragh Lake, N. side of Knock Ross.

 places, B. and V.

Sonchus aspcr, Hoffm. — Knock Drin ; not previously definitely 

 recorded from this county, but referred to Dist 7 by B. and V. 



Vaccinium Oxycoccos, L. — Quarry Bog, Knock Drin, and Scraw- 

 Bog at Loughanstown, where it is exceedingly abundant, forming dense 

 masses. An abnormal growth of this plant is of frequent occurrence in 

 both localities, caused by a fungus {Exobasidium vaccinea, Worsin). " This 

 fungus attacks Ericacece and Vaccinia of many genera in all parts of the 

 world, and many Rhododendrons in the Himalaya, with a general similarity 

 in its effects. Some quite small-flowered American Andromedas produce 

 under it flowers nearly three inches in diameter." Thus writes my friend 

 Mr. C. B. Clarke of the Kew Herbarium, to whom I sent specimens, and 

 by whom the plant was submitted to Mr. Cooke and other fungologists at 

 Kew. 



V. Vitis-idaea, L. — Mr. A. G. More informs me that there is, in Dr. 

 Moore's Herbarium, a specimen of this plant found on the greater bog 

 of Bracklyn, which is about 280 feet above mean sea-level ; I regret I have 

 not had an opportunity of searching for it. 



Andromeda polifolia, L.— Quarry Bog, Knock Drin, frequent in 

 the county. 



Pyrola rotundlfolia, L.— Abundant in the 'Scraw bog,' Loughans- 

 town, and Ballynegall, and sparingly in Lisclogher Bog.

 ful along L. Ree than any other of the genus, B. and V.
