 Districts l?------8?9--12 



Lat. 51° or 54°-56°. North of Ireland. 

 Type in Great Britain, Scottish. 



Stony and rocky places on mountains ; very rare. Fl. 

 July to September. 



1 ? On the stony parts of Turk Mountain, KiUarney ; 

 Wade Bar., Mackay Gat. Ir., and Fhr. Eih. Mucruss, Kil- 

 larney ; Moore, Nat. Pr. — 8 ? Among rocks at the fall of 

 Mam Turk, Connemara ; Wade Bar. Mackay Gat. Jr., and 

 Flor. Hib. — 9. On Benbo mountain, near Manor-Hamilton, in 

 Leitrim! at 800 feet above the sea; the late Mr. J. Wynne. — 12. 

 At the foot of the Mourne mountains, near ToUamore Park ; 

 Mackay Cat. Ir. (perhaps P. Phegopteris). On the north side 

 of Knocklayd mountain, Antrim (sparingly) ; D. M. The 

 locality of "Tullamore, King's-county," given in Moore's 

 " Nature-printed Ferns," is probably identical with that of 

 ToUamore Park, Down. We fear that the stations in dis- 

 tricts 1 and 8 belong to P. Phegopteris. 



At about 1800 feet on Knocklayd; D. M. 



Ohs. — It is remarkable that P. Bohertianum (Hoffm.) has 

 not been observed in any of the rocky limestone districts so 

 frequent in Ireland, and which seem admirably fitted for its 

 growth.
