378 FILICES. [Trichomanes. 



The plant of Burren and Arran is more luxuriant, and 

 has pinnules more deeply cut than in the ordinary state of 

 the species ; this, however, is no more than might be expected 

 from what has been already noticed of other ferns occurring 

 on the west coast of Ireland. 



Ranges from near sea-level to 800 feet in Clare, and 

 probably higher on Cahir Conree. The Mcdden-hair may be 

 expected to occur on the coast of Kerry and South Cork*
