cannot concur with the authors of the Cybele in transferring Sherard's 

 station to Hpijmctis pahcstris. First, to correct the local terms cited by 

 Eay. The original and proper name of the Lough is Deny Lough, and 

 the house. Deny House. The townland name is Cree"sytenent, and not 

 the French-looking " Creveteneau," as quoted in the Synopsis. Deny 

 (Daii-e) -sve need scarcely say is the Irish term for oak. Creevagh or 

 Creevy signifies bushy or branchy land (Joyce) ; the termination— tenent 

 is probably a corruption of teinte — fij-es. Perhaps a place of resort for 

 fuel, though the name for firewood is different. The rotten bog meant 

 not a peat moss, but a black mud, made up of rotten leaves and branches ; 

 just such a place as affords a proper habitat for C. cnsifolia, and similar to 

 the gi'ound on which it now flourishes at Killamey. Ejnpactis palustris, 

 as the name indicates, is a plant of ordinary marshes. In addition to the 

 foregoing considerations, the diagnostic terms foliis prcelongis angustis 

 acutis point to C. ensifolia, rather than E. palustris.

 which touches the Coiuity of Deny at Toome, and stretches thence east 

 and southeast for several miles.
