Aug. 30. Spent the day with Mr. Armstrong ; he shewed to us 

 the Spiranthes gemmipara growing in a rather wet field near the 

 shore, amongst Bushes, just to the south-west of the town ; we saw 

 about twelve specimens nearly out of flower. 



Aug. 31. Walked back to GlengarifF.

 demesne, and also Ross Island.

Sept. 5. Dr. Taylor came to meet us at Crom-a-glaun mountain ; 

 we found Trichomanes by a little stream at a short distance beyond

Sept. 6. To the same district ; ascended through some beautiful 

 woods towards Combnie, and then descended the river to the road 

 again. 



Sept. 7. Spent the day in the examination of the river and

 the fall.

 the ruins in a very decayed state. Landed on the south side of the
