'•4 l^he Irish Naturalist, January, 



may now claim insertion, having been shown to be well estab- 

 lished in several parts of the country. These plants are : — 



Lepidlum Draba, L- — Well established in Limerick (several stations), 



Dublin, and West Mayo. Also reported from E. Cork, Kilkenny, 



Wexford, Armagh, Down, and Antrim, but not yet to be reckoned as 



established in these. 

 Valerlanella carlnata, Loisel.— Established in Kerry and Down; 



has held its ground and increased in the latter county for over 30 



years. 

 Tragopogon porrlfollus, L. — Long established in several places 



around Belfast, and less satisfactorily about Cork; now reported as 



well established in Limerick also. 



On the other side of the account, it is less pleasant to have 

 to withdraw, or note the withdrawal of certain county records 

 already published. Mr. R. M. Barrington finds, on revisiting 

 the only Irish station of Rubus ChanicBmorus^ that the plant is 

 confined to Tyrone ; so the record for I^ondonderry (and for 

 District XII. of Cybele Hibernica) must be expunged. Mr. 

 H. W. Pugsle)' has been good enough to examine the 

 Fumitories in my herbarium, and, although the naming of 

 them, as of all which I have published over my name, rested 

 on better authority than my own, his revision shows that the 

 Fumitory list in Irish Top. Bot. will need extensive correction. 

 The bulk of the specimens upon which my own records were 

 founded are now in the National Herbarium ; when the results 

 of Mr. Pugsley's examination of these are known, further cor- 

 rections than those given below will be required. Next 

 season I hope to get together a good lot of Fumatories, and 

 with Mr. Pugsley's kindly promised assistance, to make a step 

 towards the reconstruction of the Irish list. I may add that 

 all the Fuviaria additions of the present year are given on 

 Mr. Pugsley's authority. 



It may be well to put the withdrawals of the year into formal 



shape : — 



Fumaria Borael, Jord. 



10. Tipperary N. — Withdraw. 



24. Longford. — Withdraw. 

 F. muralls, Sender. 



22. Meath.— Withdraw the Oldcastle record. 



31 Louth. —Withdraw the Boyne-mouth record. 

 Rubus Chamaemorus, L- 



40. Londonderry. — Withdraw.
