October, 



Another record of I\Iore's report which I was glad to 

 have verified was that of Ruhus thyrsoideus, a rare bramble 

 of which the only Irish specimens known to Rev. W. M{)3'le 

 Rogers (who kindly named the brambles I collected in 

 Bofin) were from Co. Kerry. 



A few plants listed in More's report were not seen by me. 

 These are ii in number. There is no reason to think that 

 any of them may not be on the island still ; but it may be 

 remarked that Avcna fatua and Loliuni temulcntum are 

 often only fleeting casuals ; also it would appear that 

 Chrysanthemum scgetum must now be rare, since so con- 

 spicuous a plant was not seen. 



Potcntilla rcptans. 

 Rubus carpinifolius. 

 R. villicaulis. 

 Callitriclie verna. 

 Seiiccio sylvaticus. 

 Chrj'santhcmum segetum. 



JAvena fatua. 



Festuca duriuscula. 



F. elatior. 



F. pratcMisis. 

 JLoliinu temulcntum. 1 



Strengthened by the additions listed in the preceding 

 pages, the flora of Inishbofm can now take its place among 

 the well-known floras of the western islands, and though 

 I have no doubt that additional species still await discovery, 

 it is now possible to institute an instructive comparison 

 between the vegetation of Inishbofin, Inishturk, and Clare 

 Island. This I hope to do in my paper on the Clare Island 

 flora, to be published in a few months.
