156 The Irish Naturalist* July, 



the Bandon, the Owenboy, and the Argideen owed their diver- 

 sion to the ice-sheet from the north-west, which was resolved 

 on its eastern edge into a series of lobes occupying the main 

 straths. It may be here mentioned that the eastern limit 

 which lycwis places on the Cork ice-movement, is not at all in 

 accordance with the local evidence. 



The temporary lakes which were formed by the damming 

 of the rivers, underwent extensive silting-up in their upper 

 reaches before they were drained by the cutting down of their 

 outlets. The connection of the broad platforms of sand and 

 gravel with the rocky ravines which have been excavated by 

 the rivers since the glacial period, is usually made clear hy a 

 study of the altitudes at which the erosion contours change 

 their slope or give place to contours of deposition. 



There are some other points connected with the Cork 

 valleys which I hope to discuss at an early date.

NOTES ON THE KERRY FLORA, 1901. 



BY REGINAI.D W. SCUI.I.Y, F.L-S. 



Having made a longer stay than usual in Kerry last year 

 and spent most of my time in the neighbourhood of Killamey, 

 I was able to give that portion of the county a more thorough 

 examination. The results showed the botany of Kerry to be by 

 no means exhausted even in so well known a district. Several 

 discoveries were made, the most unexpected being Teesdalia 

 imdicaulis R. Br., a plant hitherto believed to be restricted to 

 the vicinity of Lough Neagh. The more interesting among 

 the plants observed are set forth in the following list. Two 

 Hawkweeds, which are still under examination, will probably 

 turn out to be forms new to the Irish Flora. 



In the following notes, plants followed by I. are additions 

 to District I. of "Cybele Hibernica," 2nd Edition; those 

 followed by i or 2, additions to the Kerry sub-divisions of 

 " Irish Topographical Botany."
