de 1'Ouest de la France.' There is a fair figure in Reichenbach's 

 'Icones Flor. Germ.,' tome vin., fig. 706, and a better in the 'Flora 

 Danica,' xill. 2161. 



I believe that Scirpus parvulus has not been gathered in Britain by 

 any other botanist since it was first found by the Rev. G. E. Smith on a 

 mud-flat at Lymington in Hampshire. It is treated as extinct by Mr. 

 Watson, and by the author of the ' British Flora.' Mr. Bentham omits 

 the species altogether, and Dr. Bromfield and many other botanists 

 have sought for it unsuccessfully in the original station, so that I believe 

 its discovery at Arklow will be welcome to English no less than to Irish 

 botanists. (Glasnevin, July 8th, 1868.) 



DISCOVERY OF AIRA ULIGINOSA, WEIHE, AT ROUND- 

 STONE, CO. GALWAY. 



[JOURNAL OF BOTANY, Se$t., 1869.] 



Another plant is to be added to the botanical rarities of Roundstone. 

 When looking for Naias flexilis, I noticed a Grass very like Aira 

 flexuosa. From the nature of the locality, and the appearance of the 

 plant, I felt no doubt from the first that I had found Aira uliginosa, and 

 I am glad to say that my friend Professor C. C. Babington quite agrees 

 with me in the determination of the species. Aira uliginosa grows in 

 swampy, spongy flats, surrounding the small lake called in the Ordnance 

 Map Cregduff Lough, less than a mile south-west of Roundstone. (July 

 29th, 1869.) 



SALPA SPINOSA, OTTO, OFF THE WEST COAST OF 

 IRELAND. 



[ZOOLOGIST, Oct., 1874.] 



I first found this ocean mollusk in August, 1869, when it was floating 

 near the surface of the sea, in very great abundance, between Golam 

 Head and the Isles of Aran. Again, this season, I have met with it> 

 plentifully in the vicinity of the Skiard Rocks, and around Deer Island, 

 to the south-west of Roundstone, in Connemara. (Sept. 4th, 1874.) 



A NEW STATION FOR ERICA MACKAYANA. 

 [JOURNAL OF BOTANY, Oct., 1874.] 



Hitherto this rare heath has been observed only in the vicinity of 

 Craigga-more Hill, and thence westward along the road leading to 

 Clifden. It will, therefore, be interesting to record a second Irish 

 locality, which is situated about eight miles to the south of Craigga-
