The stream runs through a wooded glen, the rocks of which are everywhere overgrown 

 with mosses and ferns, Hymenophyllum, Asplenium Trichomanes and Adiantum-ni- 

 grum, Lastraea dilatata, Scolopendrium, Filix-femina &c. Euphorbia Hiberna was 

 in fruit, Bartsia viscosa in full flower in the fields, Hieracium Taylori &c., and in the 

 hedges round Dr. Taylor's garden, Dunkerron, Lastraea spinulosa was found, the only 

 spot in Kerry where Mr. W. met with it. On Dunkerron mountain Dr. Taylor finds 

 Lastreea dumetorum, and an Equisetum, which is in Mr. Newman's hands to be named. 

 Every one who has been at Killarney will be rejoiced to escape the infliction of a 

 description, and to those who have not yet visited its famous lakes and water-falls and 

 the bays of the neighbouring coast, no description would give any adequate idea. Mr. 

 W. was not particularly successful in finding ferns, his attention being constantly oc- 

 cupied by the novelty and grandeur of the views, and the multitude of other objects 

 equally interesting. The following list must stand in the place of an account of the 

 excursions which hundreds of visitors yearly take, and almost as many have written 

 about.
