Dublin Society a list, for publication, of some of the rarer and more 
useful plants of the country, principally found by me in two exten- 
sive tours into the southern and western counties ; which, through 
the liberality of the Provost and Board of Trinity College, I was 
enabled to make in the two preceding years. 
Doctor Wade had previously published a list of his discoveries ; 
and, in the year 1810, a full list of the plants of the county of Cork, 
found by Mr. Drummond, was laid before the Royal Dublin Society, 
and published by them. With a view of publishing a Botanist’s 
Guide through the counties of Dublin and Wicklow, which contain 
a very large proportion of the plants of Ireland, I have for several 
years noted the habitats of the plants found by me, as well as by
