194 The Irish Naturalist June, 



suppose the plant is other than native in this locality ; the 

 habitat is a natural one, moist, sheltered, and steep — so steep 

 as to be almost inaccessible, and there are no gardens near, 

 nor is it a plant that we have seen in any of the gardens in 

 the neighbourhood. 



Mr. Praeger, in the introduction to " Irish Topographical 

 Botany," gives the total number of species of Limerick plants 

 as 623, and says there is no part of the county that will not 

 repay further work. The fact that we have been able to add 

 over 60 species to the flora of the county from the barony of 

 Shanid, and these, too. chiefly from the northern and more 

 explored portion of it, fully bears out this statement. 

 Altogether the number of species we have noted in the barony 

 is 637. 



Before closing we would like to render our best thanks to 

 all those specialists who have helped us in the identification 

 of critical species— Mr. Rogers, Mr. Marshall, Mr. K. F. 

 Linton, Mr. Beeby, Mr. Pugsley, Mr. Bennett, and Mr. Praeger. 

 The Kyebrights were named by the late Mr. F. Townsend. 

 We would like to express the deep obligation we are under to 

 Mr. Donough O'Brien, who at all times put himself and his 

 horse and trap at our disposal, and assisted us in our explora- 

 tions, and to Mrs. Dermod O'Brien, of Cahirmoyle, for 

 hospitality. And last, but not least, we must acknowledge 

 the help we had from Master Denis Gwynn in collecting 

 specimens. 



A list of additional county records obtained by us from the 

 barony of Shanid is given below, also lists of the plants not 

 noted from the barony previously and of those genera the 

 distribution of which has not yet been thoroughly worked 

 out.
