 the ornamental aqueous plants (of Co. Armagh) are . . . the 

 typha angustifolia, or narrow-leaved catstail, which produces a fine 

 down, and certainly might be turned to some useful account, as 

 stuffing cushions," — Coote's Armagh; the cushion-stuffing suggestion 

 rather points to T. latifolia as being the plant referred to.

P. ci*ispus, Linn. var. 



Of a curious pond-weed, without fruit, which I obtained in the 

 canal between Caledon and Battleford Bridge, Mr. Bennett writes : 

 — "This is P. crispiis, L., /, perhaps a modification of yar. serratus. 

 It might eventually prove a cross with one of the linear-leaved 

 species, but the apex of the leaves, stem, and venation are crispus. 

 It is an even more reduced form than that from Stirling." 



P. pectinatus, Linn. N. — S. 



Lough Neagh at Derryadd bay, H. W. L. spec. ! In Lough Neagh 

 at east side oi Ardmore Point, and in great abundance at the en- 

 trance to the canal at Magherv; brackish pools below Newry,
