near Limerick. There is a place called ' Anacotty.' " The 

 query as to " Anakirk " led practically to the verification 

 of K'Eogh's old record, printed in 1 736, for the Irish Spurge : 

 the name, as Mr. Stewart conjectured, was a misprint for 

 Rinekirk. The associations of Monmor Bog were less 

 hopeful consisting as they did of a dubious record of 

 Alisma natans, and one that was worse than dubious, of 

 Erica ciliaris.

DEAR SIR, I have no doubt that your Belfast Ryppia is the true 

 maritima, and that from Foynes rostellata, in which latter the main 

 peduncle is only about same length as the pedicels which bear the 

 fruits. Your conjecture about Anakirk being an error instead of 

 Rinekirk is I thing likely right ; especially as I have lately ascertained 

 that Euphorbia hyberna does grow at Adare, very near the place you 

 mention. With regard to Alisma natans, I have long ago satisfied 

 myself that it was Alisma repens which was gathered on Monmor bog. 

 I hope you found the Eriocaulon. I have been spending a week at 

 Kilkee,* but had no time to visit the bog. I saw Viola lutea on the 

 Doon-beg (or Dun-beg) strand, and with it Asperula cynanchica. These 

 were the only two plants of interest that I observed. 



The next is one of several letters relating to the plan 

 of " Stewart and Corry's " Flora. 



October nth, 1884. 



DEAR SIR, I hope you will not think me too critical, in sending 

 you some more notes on the second proof of your sample page. I have 

 put down a few names on the enclosed sheet of paper, which you are 

 to accept or reject as you like. But I think you know the interest I feel 

 in your work, and I should like to see the book as perfect as possible.
