CURRENT LITERATURE. 



Belfast Naturalists' Field Club. 



We have received, after a hiatus of three years, au issue of the 

 Proceedings of this Club. The present part is for the years 1899-1900 aud 

 1900-1901, leaviug the publication still a year in arrear. Concise reports 

 of the papers read, and excursions held during these two 3^ears are given, 

 and the issue is embellished with portraits of the Presidents of the Club 

 during the period 1888- 1902. Eoth the editing aud proof-reading un- 

 fottunateh' leave much to be desired, and are unworth}^ of the traditions 

 of the Belfast Club. At the end of the part is an Index (but no title- 

 page!) to vol. IV. (series 2), 1893-4 to 1900-1. This is as slovenly in its 

 execution as the rest of the work. 



Moss Exchange Club. 



We have received the seventh Annual Report of this Club, which 

 contains as usual notes on several Irish plants. 



NOTES. 



BOTANY. 

 Plants of Co. Kildare. 



Carex sylvatica and Phlenni prafense, desiderata for Co. Kildare, were 

 noted at Longtown, near Clane, last autumn. ScropJmlaria timbrosa Dum., 

 ■was also noted by the Liffey side, about two miles above Clane, an 

 extension to the range of this apparently local plant. Its only other 

 Kildare station lies on the Liffey, close to Co. Dublin border.

Potamogeton plantagineus in Co. Wicklow. 



I have an undoubted specimen of this pondweed gathered by me 

 some years ago in a ditch on the Murrough of Wicklow, near Newcastle. 

 David Moore's record for this county may therefore .stand; it is rejected 



in lop. Bot., p. 319.
