The hish Naiuralist. October, 
Carduus arvensis, c. (Lamium purpureum). 
Lapsana communis, v.r. (L. amplexicaule). 
Sonchus arvensis, r. Plantago major, r. 
Anagallis arvensis, f. (Chenopodium album). 
(Linaria Elatine). Polygonum Persicaria, v.r. 
Veronica hedeiaefolia, v.r. (Euphorbia Helioscopia). 
(V. agrestis). Urtica dioica, c. 
V. Tournefortii, v.r. U. urens, r. 
V. arvensis, r. Lemna minor, r. 
(Stachys palustris). Bromus mollis, r. 
(S. arvensis). Lolium perenne, r. 
It will be seen that out of 38 species, only four — Stellaria 
media, Carduus arvensis, Anagallis arvensis, and Urtica 
dioica, occur otherwise than sparingly ; clearly the intro- 
duced flora is in a bad way. 
These 38 species, plus the four already mentioned as 
planted and naturalized, give a total of 42 species to be 
deducted from the total Hst if we wish to obtain the present 
indigenous flora of the Great Saltee. That total is thus 
155, less an indefinite number of the species in list "A," 
on page 188, the 14 native or probably native plants 
recorded by Hart, but not seen by me, some of which I 
beheve to be extinct. If we assume half of them to be now 
extinct, we have an indigenous flora of 148, or a total flora 
(excluding the planted trees and garden plants on p. 187) 
of 190 species. 
I close with a few notes on individual species, with 
reference to points not brought out in the preceding pages. 
Ranunculus parviflorus, L. — Fine specimens gathered by R. M. Barring- 
ton are in the National Herbarium, Mr. Barrington and I refound 
it, growing very small, in close turf in several spots by the sea below 
the house. 
R. Ficaria, L. — Still flowering in mid-June, even on open southern 
slopes, with Hydrocotylc vulgayis and Carcx arcnaria. 
Erodium cieutarium, L'Herit. — One colony on the beach at " The Ring," 
all with white flowers.
