In addition to the foregoing, some other observations at lower 

 levels around the mountains may be here given. Starting at Anna- 

 long on the sea coast, I followed up the river of that name to the 

 mountains. For five or six miles its course lies in a low, gravelly- 

 valley, with plentiful patches of marsh by its side, intermixed with 

 cultivation. The following species were noticed at Annalong : — 

 Galeopsis versicolor, Rosa arvensis, Agrostemma githago, and Erodium 

 moschatum. By the stream I gathered in cultivated fields Vieia hir- 

 suta, Stachys arvensis, Silene anglica (frequent), Scleranthus annuus 

 (frequent), and at Dunny Water Bridge Mentha rotundifolia, but only 

 as a garden escape appai'ently established on the water's edge. Other 

 local plants were noted between this bridge and Annalong : Equisetum 

 maximum, Lycopodium selaginella, Eleocharis pauciflora, Carex fulva, 

 Achillea ptarmica, Gnaphalium sylvaticum, Filago minima, and Carex 

 laevigata. 



At Narrow "Water and between Narrow Water and Warrenpoint I 

 found Olione port'ulacoides, which I have not seen previously north of 

 Drogheda. It was in company with Statice lahusiensis . 



On the coast north of Newcastle, Carduus tenuiflorus, Lycopsis 

 arvensis, Ononis arvensis, Gentiana campestris, Viola curtisii, Filago 

 minima, Gnaphalium sylvaticum,, Lepidium smithii, 8clerantlius annuus, 

 and Pimpinella saxifraga grow in the flats among the sandhills, and in 

 ditches near Carex vesicaria was met with. 



In Tollymore Park, by the river banks, I gathered Lastrcua oreop- 

 teris, Crepis paliidosa, Veronica montana. Milium effusum, Euonymus 

 europceus, Lastrma cemula, Hieracium prenanthoide?,, II. vidgatum [sylva- 

 ticum), H. crocatum, H. anglicum, H. sabaudum, Hymenophyllum unila- 

 terale, and Lu%ula pilosa. 



So far for District 12. The following localities belong to District 

 5 : — It would be more natural to include the Carlingford peninsula 

 with the Mourne Mountains in District 12, and let the north boundary 

 of District 5 run up the river from Dundalk Harbour to the Armagh 

 county. The Mourne and Carlingford Mountain's are geologically and 

 botanically inseparable. 



On the way up the Carlingford Hills from Omcath, I found the
