COLLECTIONS OF PLANTS AND HEKBARIA 

 EXAMESTED. 



1. Herbarium of the late Dr. J. T. Mackay, preserved" in Trinity 

 CoUege, Dublin. This collection unfortunately was prepared in 

 the latter years of Dr. Maokay's life, and many of the plants 

 are known to have been derived from the Botanic Gardens, 

 and were inserted only with the view of representing the species. 

 The localities given on the labels were merely copied from "Flora 

 Hibemica," so that the collection is almost useless for elucidating 

 any critical question. 



2. Herbarium prepared by D. M., for the Ordnance Survey, and con- 

 taining a nearly complete series of the wild plants of Deny and 

 Antrim ; further elucidated by a MS. catalogue of their loca- 

 lities and elevation in Derry. 



3. Herbarium of D.M., containing plants from various parts of 

 L:eland. 



4. Herbarium of A. G. M., containing many plants collected in
