following : — Scleranthus annuus, Achillea ptarmica, GnaphaUum sylva- 

 ticum, and Stachys arvensis. In a little shady ravine through which 

 a stream flows, Crepis paludosa, Veronica montana, Hieracium preyian- 

 thoicles, JI. anylicum, and Equisetum sylvaticwn were noted. Farther 

 up, several northern species o(;curred, which will be found in the body 

 of this report. 



The alpine species met with on the Mourne and Carlin^ford 

 Mountains are — 



Saxifraga stellaris, Cryptogramme crispa, 



Hieracium anylicum, Isoetes lacustris, 



Vaccinium vitis idosa, Lycopodium alpinum, 



Salix herbacea, L. selayifiella. 

 Juniperus nana, 



In addition to these, Dr. Dickie has recorded ArctostapJtyllos uva- 

 ursi, and Carex rigida from Slieve Donard, and Saxifraga aizoides 

 from Donard Lodge, the latter on Messrs. Thompson and Hyndman's 

 authority. The first two are not, I think, now to be found on Slieve 

 Donard. 



Ohione portulacoides is an addition to the flora of District 12. 



The undermentioned are additions to the flora of District 5 : — 



Gnaphalium sylvaticum (given in Salix herlacea, 



the Cyhele on "a single plant Lister a cor data, 



gathered,") Carex dioica, 



llieracium prenanthoides, Eleocharis multicaulis. 



a. anylicum, 



In conclusion, I should mention that Dr. Dickie has given in the 

 introduction to his valuable " Flora of Ulster" a list of plants observed 

 on the summit of Slieve Donard, with a few others arranged in descend- 

 ing order. I have mentioned above the two chief discrepancies be- 

 tween us, which future botanists may be able to harmonize.

My notes on the Derry mountains are the results of a visit to Ben 

 Evenagh and Magilligan in 1882, and a few days spent at Dungiven 

 in 1883, from whence I examined Ben Bradagh, Mullaghmore, and 

 the Sawel and Dart range from Mullaghcarbatagh to Meenard. 



Of these groups, the first three lie on the western edge of tbe 

 Antrim trap-formation, and although of moderate height (Ben Evenagh 

 1260, Ben Bradagh 1535, and Mullaghmore 1825), their botany is very 

 interesting. That of Ben Evenagh or Magilligan has been famous 

 since as early as 1732, as the curious may read in the Anthologia 

 Hihernica for 1794 on the authority of the Bishop of Derry. The late 

 Dr. Moore had also more recently examined this district, when attached
