Linnsean Society for his kind permission to transcribe this 

 interesting tract, of which we have not been able to find a copy 

 in Ireland), 



Wade, Walter, M.D. " Catalogus systematicus plantarum indige- 

 narum in comitatu Dublinensi inventarum" {Wade Dubl), 

 Dublin, 1794. A descriptive Flof'a written in latin, and arranged 

 according to the Linnaean system ; it contains many localities. 



Wade, Walter, M.D. "Plantse Kariores in Hibemia Inventse" 

 (Wade, Rar.), Dublin, 1804. A tolerably full list of the scarcer 

 plants observed by Dr. Wade in various parts of Ireland, chiefly 

 Oonnemara, Cork, and Kerry ; but several of the species appear 

 to have been imperfectly determined. (See Appendix.) 



White, John. "An Essay on the Indigenous Grasses of Ireland" 

 Dublin, 1808. Chiefly descriptive and agricultural, but con- 

 tains several stations not recorded elsewhere. 



Mackay, James Tmvnsend, LL.D. Catalogue of the Plants found in 

 Ireland. Royal Irish Academy Trans., vol. xiv. (1825), and pub- 

 lished separately. (Machay Cat. Ir.) Dublin 1824, As the 

 first complete list of all the native plants of Ireland, this is one of 

 the most important memoirs relating to the Flora. 



Anmyrmm. "The Irish Flora" (Jr. Flor.), Dublin, 1833. As- 

 cribed to Miss Baily (now Lady Kane) ; the localities having 

 been contributed by Mr. John White. This is a portable book, 

 containing short and clear descriptions of all the Irish plants 

 then known, and deserves notice as the first Flora of Ireland. 



Mackay, James Townsend, LL.D. " Flora Hibemica" (Flor. Hib.) 

 Dublin, J836. The standard work on the Flora of Ireland ; but 

 the localities given are usually few, and no attempt is made to 

 estimate the range and frequency of the plants. 



Power, Thomas, M.D. " The Botanist's Guide for the County of 

 Cork," in "Contributions towards the Fauna and Flora of 

 Cork" (Flor. Cork), Cori, 184.5. A complete and extensive 

 list of the plants found wild in the county of Cork, chiefly in 

 the immediate vicinity of the town itself. Dr. Power has wisely 

 incorporated the earlier observations of Smith, Drummond, and 

 Alexander ; but several species and localities contributed by Mr. 

 Nash and others, appear to have been too hastily admitted.
