NOTES ON MOUNTAIN PLANTS IN KERRY.

I devoted a day to botanizing over this group, but from the time 

 I was about 1000 feet above sea level, the rest of my exploration 

 was done in blinding clouds of rain, so that I am uncertain whether 

 1 ever reached the highest point. The following observations were, 

 however, carefully taken with an aneroid, and I believe I gave the 

 upper cliffs, which look eastwards, a tolerably complete examina- 

 tion.

SuGARLOAF MouNTAiN. — Tliis is a couical, isolated peak, standing 

 out conspicuously at the head of the Black Valley. It is separated 

 from the Reeks by this valley and the valley of the Caragh, and 

 lies about a mile south of Lake Currahmore, on the Reeks. It 

 forms a splendid feature in the view from the surrounding points.
