302 Alexander Goodman More. [isss 



Mr. Stewart ultimately pitched on Lough Allen for 

 1883. Most of the correspondence between him and Mr. 

 More, later in the year, relates to another matter, but a 

 few letters continuing some of the foregoing topics are 

 given here. The original record of Eriocaulon septangulare 

 in Rathlin Island, which Mr. Stewart now reported to be 

 erroneous, had in 1866 been considered by the authors of 

 the " Cybele Hibernica" "particularly interesting as con- 

 necting the Irish with the Scottish localities." 



(October 6th, 1883.} I should not feel any hesitation in referring your 

 specimen to Pimpinella saxifraga. It is most variable in the amount of 

 cutting of the leaves, and I have gathered plants quite like yours near 

 Wicklow. Thank you for the short notice of your trip to Rathlin. I 

 hope that you will have your full report ready for an early meeting of 

 the Academy. Please note that it was Barrington who lately visited 

 Tory Island. Hart did both Isles of Aran, and recently Lambay Island, 

 close to Dublin. I shall be curious to hear how you explain the mistake 

 about Eriocaulon in Rathlin. What other plant could be mistaken 

 for it ? 



(November 22nd, 1883.} Your letter and the MS. of your Paper on 

 Rathlin have safely arrived, and I do not find much to remark, except 

 that in your appendix you should, I think, give in every case the autho- 

 rity for each plant, and I should put it in this way : 



(In Dr. Marshall's list) 



(Church Bay : Flor. Ulst.) 



(In Miss Gage's list) 



Etc. etc. 



giving any special locality in which the plant has been published as 

 growing, as well as the authority, clearly. I accordingly return the last 

 two pages, so that, if you agree with me, you may insert the few words 

 necessary, which I think will not take you very long. E.g., in the case 

 of Trifolium arvense, you should say whether it is Templeton in Flora of 

 Ulster, or Templeton in Flor. Hib. or Templeton M.S. And in case of 

 Elatine hexandra it would be desirable to know the authority, and also 

 the special locality, if given. And I believe it would be better to 

 explain more about Eriocaulon : who recorded it, and your conjecture 



that it was Eleocharis ? misprint or ? error. 



Lolium temulentum : it does not appear whether you exclude it as 

 non-occurring or as being only a casual in Rathlin. Is it ? Please 

 return the two pages as soon as you can. 



(November 2$rd, 1883.} Your letter of to-day about Ulex. You 

 have put Templeton's remark under the right species, viz. U. europaeus. 

 But I have inserted the exact words. I have also ventured, with your
