Interesting Hepatics from Co. Kerry. 
In July, 1913, Mr. Praeger sent me two Hepatics found by him near 
Brandon Mountain, in Iveragh, Co. Kerry, which were so unusual that 
I sent them to Mr. Mac vicar, of Invermoidart, for his opinion. One, 
which forms tufts in several feet of water on the sandy bottom of Lough 
Doon, near Connor Pass, I took for a form of Scapania undulata. I have 
gathered a similar plant in pools on Carlingford Mountain, in Co. Louth. 
On this Kerry plant, Mr. Macvicar writes : — " I consider the submerged 
Scapania as rather belonging to 5. dentata than to 5. ioiditlata." 
The other plant grew on the bottom of the highest tarn on Brandon 
Mountain at an altitude of 2,500 feet, where it forms patches in three to 
six feet of water. Mr. Macvicar says of this : — " The Aneura is most 
curious ; the thallus is 7-9 or more cells in thickness. I am inclined to 
place it to A. pinguis as a submerged form. The colour and crispness 
seem to belong to that species."

Helvella crispa in Co. Donegal. 
Mr. W. E. Hart forwards a fine specimen of Helvella crispa found by 
Miss Mary Colgan at Kilderry, Co. Donegal. Mr. Hart reports that the 
fungus is of frequent occurrence at that place. The only previous Ulster 
records appear to be from Down (Waddell) and Armagh (Lett), in Canon 
Lett's paper on the Fungi of N.E. Ireland in the Proceedings of the Belfast 
Field Club. Mr. A. D. Cotton, of Kew, kindly confirmed Mr. Hart's 
identification.

ZOOLOGY. 
MoUusca from the Great Saltee Island. 
Mr. Stelfox asked me to collect mollusca during my visit to the Saltees 
last June. I was too much occupied to pay much attention to this 
group, but sent the few I got to Mr. Stelfox, who suggests the publication 
of the names: — Limax arbor um var. maculata. Roebuck; L. maximus, Agrio- 
limax agrestis, Arion intermedins (dark grey form), Pyramidula rotundata, 
Hygyomia hispida {Hat " eastern " form), Hclicella virgata (same form as 
occvirs on mainland of Wexford), Helix nemoralis. Pupa cylindracea.

Black Tern on Migration at Tuskar Light-station. 
On August 31st, at i a.m., a Black Tern was picked up on the balcony 
of the Tuskar lighthouse by Mr. Glanville, and kindly forwarded to me 
in the flesh.
