district X, grew with Asplenium viride and the usual accom- 

 paniment. To gather three species of Pyrola together in Ire- 

 land fell to the lot of Dr. Moore in Derry seventy years ago, 

 but to no botanist before or since till I had the luck to stumble 

 on Carricknagower. As I gathered my spoils here a brood of 

 young Kestrels sat around me and watched the proceedings 

 with interest. The day was spent working right across the 

 high bog land, examining scarps, lakes, and marshes. As to 

 the scarps, Pyrola secimda, P. media, and A. viride occurred 

 several times again. On the highest point of the elevated 

 ground, Shean North (1,135 feet), the windswept scarp 

 yields P. secnnda in delightful abundance, growing not 

 only among the stunted heather, and in the Sesleria 

 patches on the cliff, but even covering bare slopes of orange 

 sand formed by the disintegration of the rock. In the 

 lakes, the only plant of interest was Lobelia Dortmaima at 

 Lough Navar, new to Fermanagh ; round the margins of several 

 Ramtncnlus scoticus was plentiful. The wet swamps and boggy 

 lake-shores jdelded Drosera anglica, Vaeeiriiiwi Oxycocctis, Pin- 

 guicula Imitanica, Eleoeharis multicatilis, Scirpus pauciflorus, 

 Cladium^ Carex dioica, C. enrla, C limosa, C. filiforniis. My 

 last glimpse of the mountain flora, as I turned down a stream- 

 let towards Whiterocks, was a mossy boss under a low sand- 

 stone scarp, half a mile south of Shean, decked all over with 

 the pretty greenish-white drooping racemes of Pyrola secunda. 

 I had gone to Fermanagh armed with a goodly list of com- 

 moner plants still wanted for that county, but only one of the 

 lot, and that one of the least common — namely, Ophioglossuni 

 vulgatuni — was found during the five days, and it grew under 

 thick trees in the bottom of a deep glen ! The additions to the 

 Fermanagh flora which this trip yielded are distinctly in- 

 teresting, and their northern and montane character is very 

 marked.
