On the Introduction of the Squirrel into Ireland. 627 
7th. That the Mullingar locality may be due to Miss Nugent’s 
introduction at Donore. 
Sth. That the Donegal centre of introduction at Ballyarr, in 
1875, has extended very slightly, and is, perhaps, extinct. 
9th. That all the localities round Lough Neagh are probably 
due to Mr. Jones’s introduction at Moneyeglass. 
10th. That the localities in northern Louth, southern Armagh, 
and Down, are due to Lord Clermont’s introduction at Ravens- 
dale, in 1851 and 1856. 
My sincere thanks are due to the correspondents who have 
kindly assisted me in this investigation. They are so numerous 
that they will, I trust, excuse me thanking them individually. 
My friend Mr. A. G. More, of the Museum of Science and Art, 
Kildare-street, has, however, by constant advice and valuable sug- 
gestions, assisted me so much that it is impossible for me to con- 
clude without acknowledging the great aid he has given me.
