 the 112 Watsonian vice-count\^ divisions ot Great Britain, and

 29 mosses, 61 hepatics — collected by himself and his friends du- 

 ring 3 visits to the remarkabl}'^ rieh district of Killarney. He

 Hepaticae. (Proc. Roy. Irish Acad.XXXI. 11— 12. p. 18. Dublin 1912.) 



The author gives an account of the area explored — Cläre 

 Island and a portion of the adjacent west coast of Ireland — , 

 and the local distribution of the flora. The list of species collected 

 comprises 221 mosses and 127 hepatics; and 20 of these mosses 

 and 16 Hepatics were found on the Island, but not in the Main- 

 land area. Also 7 of the hepatics are recorded for Ireland for 

 the first time. A. Gepp.

 on the Flora ofthe Saltees. Part II]. (Irish Naturalist. XXII. 

 10. p. 192—194. Dublin, October 1913.) 



The author gives a list of 20 hepatics and 74 mosses collected 

 on the Great Saltee Island, lying off the S, coast of Co. Wex- 

 ford in Ireland. Ten years ago the Island became deserted and 

 passed out of cultivation, but it is infested with multitudes of sea- 

 birds and rabbits. As a consequence of the habits of these animals, 

 the bryophyta have a hard struggle for existence, and the species 

 are all common. The tufst are invariably very small. Only one 

 species each of GrUnrnia and Orthotrichuin were found.
