yards’ distance. Almost without exception, men, women and 
children, met with outside the towns, stopped to beg. 
On the afternoon of the day of arrival, viz. the 9th August, 
the following plants were found on the roadside within half 
a mile to the west of the hotel:—Anagallis tenella, Ceterach 
officinarum, Drosera anglica, Eriocaulon  septangulare, 
Erythrea Centaurium and var. alba, Hydrocotyle vulgaris, 
Lobelia Dortmanna, Menziesia polifolia, Nuphar lutea, 
Schaenus nigricans. 
On Friday the 10th the party drove to a point on 
Roundstone Moor, about nine miles from Recess, where the 
road to Roundstone branches off the main road from Cashel 
to Clifden, near the spot where Dr. Stuart found Lrica Stuarts,

Tetraliz var. alba, Erica Tetraliz, smooth, without glands, 
Ulex nanus, and a variety of Utricularia. 
The party, on the way back to Ballinahinsh Station, whence 
the return journey was made by train, found some interesting 
varieties of Lomaria Spieant and Athyrium Filix-femana, 
On Saturday the 11th, four of the party went by train to 
Clifden in order to explore Ballinaboy Bog. Considerable 
difficulty was found in procuring a conveyance, but the delay
