Hart — On the Botan;/ of the River Suir.

north side of the river till we reached Carrick, and at the same 

 time the limit of tidal effects. The river had quite lost its charms. 

 For many miles the Galtee, Commeragh, and Knockmealdown 

 Mountains had been at one point or another conspicuously beauti- 

 ful against the skyline, while the immediate banks of the river 

 were in several places lovely beyond description. But we had 

 turned our backs on these charms, and descended to a richer and 

 uglier plain, and to a badly macadamized towpath. So that we made 

 all speed to Waterford, and hurried home by an afternoon train to 

 Dublin. At Clonmel Senebiera didyma, SoUdago virgaurea, Carduus 

 pycnocephalus, two 8crophularias, and two (Enanthes occurred. 

 From Clonmel downwards sedges have almost entirely disappeared. 

 Serophularia aquatica is very abundant, and so also is Nasturtium 

 paludre. With the latter I found N. sykestre also, a known locality 

 for this plant, which is only found elsewhere in Ireland in one 

 place on the Blackwater. Near Clonmel Hypericum anglicum grows, 

 looking quite wild, on the river banks. It is, of course, not native 

 in Ireland. From Kilsheelan bridge the proximity of the sea is 

 soon felt. Cormorants begin to be plentiful, and near Carrick 

 Zostera marina makes its appearance, accompanied by maritime 

 sedges. 



In conclusion, I will enumerate the species which may be added 

 to the lists for District 7 and District 2 of the Cybele Hibernica, 

 and some others whose range has been extended : —
