236 The Irish Naturalist. October, 



fully on their shores — Ra^nmadus scoticus, which in Ireland 

 hitherto had been found only by one lake in Achill Island by 

 its describer, Rev. E. S. Marshall. It proved to be frequent 

 round the high-level lakes of this district. On the sandstone 

 scarp at the east end of Meenameen Lake Pyrola secu7ida was 

 found again, accompanied very sparingly by P. media. Scsleria 

 was abundant here, as it proved to be on most of the sand- 

 stone scarps. The inevitable rain now came down, in the 

 form of driving mist and thick cloud. I steered eastward 

 across the plateau, getting P. seciinda and A.vi7'ide again, and 

 came home along the top of the Poulaphuca east cliffs, where 

 Epilobiuvi ajiguslifoliuin grows abundantly. 



On July 6 I gave the rain a couple of hours to clear off, but 

 as it refused to comply, made my way to Bunnahone Lake, 

 which yielded two good and unexpected plants — Eriophomm 

 latifoliuni and Eqidsetum trachyodoji. Then, at last in sunlight, 

 a line was taken through the hollow which cuts Carrick Hill 

 in two. Here Eriophonwi latifoli2im grew again, this time in 

 company with E. ang^tstifolium, among which it could easily 

 be picked out by its taller slenderer stems, smaller fruit-heads, 

 and short yellowish leaves. Indeed, so useful was this object- 

 lesson that next morning, driving above Correl Glen, I easil}^ 

 picked it out in a third station at a distance of fifty yards. 

 Doagh lyough yielded some Pondweeds (Z'. alpi7iiis, P. hefero- 

 phylliiSy P. lucens, &c.), and other plants, and on the cliffs 

 above it, a second station for the Welsh Poppy was found, 

 and the pretty little Euphrasia Salisburge?isis again. Behind 

 thir. hill, the Screenagh River flows through a grand glen, with 

 towering cliffs of limestone on either hand. Turning north, I 

 crossed country to Derryvahon. The sandstone scarps here 

 yielded nothing. The wooded glens in the shales contained 

 Ulmus mo7itana, undoubtedly native. From Derryvahon east- 

 ward several swamps occur near the stream, which jnelded a 

 good flora — Cladiuvi^ Carcx dioica, C limosa, Juncus obt2isiflorus^ 

 Utricjtlaria hitermcdia, Vaccinitim Oxycoccus. Then the light 

 failed. 



On my last morning— a fine day ar last — I took car ten miles 

 to the west end of the Poulaphuca cuesta, and five minutes 

 after dismounting was revelling in Pyrolas again — this time 

 on the scarp over Carricknagower Lake, where P. secunda^ P. 

 media, and what interested me more, P. minor, new to Cybele
