1836] JOURNAL— STILL IN IRELAND. 55 



interesting line than the other. On the lake behind the house is 

 an odd looking old building, said to have been used by the late 

 Mr. Martin as a prison. By the side of the Ballanahinch river I 

 found Rhjnchospora fusca. In the evening Mr. MacCalla and I went 

 to some sands called Gusteen, and found upon granite rocks Arabis 

 ciliata. 



July 31. Sunday. I was much pleased with the curate, Mr. R. 

 Browne, who lives in the hotel. 



Aug. 1. Searched Cushtrower Bay for Atriplex pedunculata but 

 could not find any. Walked about Urrisbeg but found no new 

 plants. 



Aug. 2. I went to Craig Moira and got Erica Mackaina. 



Aug. 3. Mr. Clowes and I walked to Maam. 



Aug. 4. Mr. Clowes and I went over Maamhaen, and then 

 turning to the right passed Lough Ina, going close under the Maam 

 Turk range. The " Pins " have a very fine appearance from this 

 route. Indeed no part of Connemara surpasses it in grandeur. We 

 turned again to the right, and passed over the elevated pass of Maam 

 Turk, returning home down Glan-na-Glask. This route is well 

 worth a visit, from the fine mountain valleys of Maam Turk. The 

 land is moderately dry, and appears to offer good pasture for sheep. 

 This took us seven hours. 



Aug. 5. Passed over the mountain behind the house and looked 

 for Adiantum Capillus-Veneris, did not find it. Gathered Eriophorum 

 gracile (?) Went along the top of the mountain as far as the old road 

 to Cong, and returned by it. There is a small lake on the mountain 

 containing plenty of Dortmanna palustris. Mr. Clowes left. 



Aug. 6. Went as far as Drumsna, a wooded hill dividing the 

 upper part of Lough Corrib, and forming the narrow part of that 

 lake. Found Hymenophyllum tunlnidgense, Eubus idaeus, Hieracium 

 wnbellatum, and Scolopendrium indgare. The view from the top of the 

 hill is very fine, taking in a large portion of Lough Corrib. The 

 hill is limestone, the same as that at Castle-na-Careg, and also the 

 hill between the rivers at Maam. 



Aug. 7. Walked along the ridge between the rivers at Maam, 

 and then examined the fine rocks upon the small mountain beyond. 

 The ridge is limestone, the same as Drumsna, and the hill is the 

 same. These three points are in one line, and continuing it, it 

 passes under the northern end of Maam Turk, where I noticed 

 limestone a few days since. 



Aug. 8. After breakfast started for Tully ; went over Maam- 

 haen, and followed the same road as on the 4th, but at the point 

 where we then turned up to Maam Turk, I followed the road which 

 led me to Kylemore. The views of the " Pins," and of Maam Turk, 

 and Mullshea were very fine, and varying at every few yards. Soon
