I902. Notts, 323 



The mill-stream above mentioned broadens further down its course 

 into a muddy flat. Here were several interesting plants. Glycerin plicata 

 grew luxuriantly among G. fluitatis, showing well its difference of 

 character, the large compound spreading panicles and glaucous foliage 

 contrasting with those of its ally. This plant does not appear to have 

 been recorded from the county since A. G. More noted it from "near 

 Glasnevin and Dublin " in the first edition of Cybele. Near by were a few 

 fine plants of Barbarea arcuata Reichb., which has only one previous 

 Dublin station. Mr. Arthur Bennett writes of it, " the i^ arcuaia I call 

 good arcuaia.'^ There were also here a curious strong form of Carex remota, 

 simulating C, axillaris in the large size of its fruit spikes and the com- 

 pound nature of the lower ones.

Hieracium auratum near Banbridge, Co. Down. 



This species, which has been recorded as the most abundant Accipitriue 

 Hawkweed in the Mourne Mountains, does not appear hitherto to have 

 been observed elsewhere in Co. Down. This year I had the pleasure of 

 gathering it amongst rocks in the River Baun by the first weir below 

 Baubridge, where it is fairly plentiful.

Limerick Botany. 



The recently issued part (vol. 11., No. 6) of the Journal of the Limerick 

 Field Club contains a paper by Miss Eleonora Armitage on plants col- 

 lected chiefly at Thornfields, in that county, in 1901. A few Clare plants 

 are included. 



ZOOLOGY. 



Trichoniscus roseus near Dublin. 



In turning over some rubbish lately in my garden at Rathgar, 1 came 

 across a specimen of this rare Wood-louse, easily distinguished by its red 

 colour. Dr. Scharff has previously found it in two stations near Dublin— 

 at Leeson-park and at Dundrum— in both instances in rubbish heaps. 

 Mr. Welch has taken a single specimen at Kenmare, and another at 

 Ballyfinder, Co. Down. These are its only Irish records. My specimen 

 is in the Dublin Museum.
