Johnson and Knowles — The Levinge Herbarium. 123 



are found in the collection, either from County Westmeath (collected 

 after the publication of his paper mostly), or from other parts of 

 Ireland, and not yet recorded. This list would have been much 

 longer but for the excellent work done in the last few years by 

 Miss E. Reynell. (See Irish Naturalist, January, 1903.)

 heterophyllus without floating leaves." Top. Bot. has 

 " Westmeath, Ballaghkeeran, 1898 — P. Pare. The distri- 

 bution of none of the Batrachian Ranunculi is as yet 

 fully known. The present species probably occurs in 

 all divisions."
