Diotu maritima. Found at Camsofe Point, "Wexford, by Mr. J. 

 "Waddy. A new station for one of the scarcest British plants. 



iEquisetum traohyodon {Machaii Newm.) at Blarney, and 



GalUtriehe autumnalis at Killarney, both unexpectedly found to 

 range to the South of Ireland. 



M-iophorum latifoUum at Roundstone. Eange of a very local species 

 extended to the West of Ireland. 



HelminthiaecMoides. Kange extended northwards to Antrim, and 

 another instance of a local southern species occurring in north-east 

 Ireland. 



Adicmtum Ca/pilhm-veneri^. Limerick, Mayo, and Donegal added 

 to the few counties in which this very local Eern has been found. 



Poa oompressa. Ballycastle and Portadown, two new districts for 

 a very scarce grass. 



Scleroehloa procumhens, Belfast, previously collected at Cork only. 

 Galium uUginomm, Erythroea pulchella, Cm-ex axillwru. New localities 

 for three scarce plants, of which we had previously seen no Irish 

 specimens. 



The extension and increase of alien weeds is illustrated by the 

 spread of— 



Anacharis Alsinastrum. Diplotaxis muralis. 



Veronica Buxbaumii. Melilotus officinalis. 



V. peregrina. Rumex pulcher. 



Orepis taraxacifolia. Sisymbrium Irio. 



To these we may perhaps add : 



Sisyrhynchium Bermudiana. Orobanche minor. 

 Cuscuta Trifolii. Valerianella carinata. 



While as examples of decrease we haye : 



Oarex Buxbaumii. Eriophorum latifplium. 



C. paradoxa. Euphorbia Peplis. 



Lathyrus palustris. Trichomanes radicans. 



Arundo stricta. Erica ciliaris. 



Some of these have suffered from drainage and the reclamation of 

 bogs, and through the recent operations of lowering the level of several 

 of the large lakes. Euphorbia Feplis, from inroads of the sea or changes 

 in the beach, while the decrease of Trichomanes alone is to be attributed 

 to the unscrupulous depredations of plant-collecting tourists. 



"We now proceed to enumerate the localities in regular order, pre- 

 mising that whenever the word " District" is placed before a numeral, 

 it indicates that the plant is an addition to the Flora of that pro- 

 vince. 



* Clematis Vitalha (Linn.) District 4. Sandhills at Courtown, 

 "Wexford, growing with Sippophae rhamnoides, sparingly ; A. Q-. M.
