Barrington and Vowell — Flora of Shores of Lough Ree. 695 



■we slept around it in our waterproofs. Had a tent been brouglit, 

 some time and trouble might have been saved ; but in wet weather 

 the specimens dry badly in a tent, as the blotting sheets are continually 

 damp. The method of working was for each of us to land at diif erent 

 points. By this means we avoided going over the same ground, and 

 were enabled to examine a large district each day. During the second 

 visit, from the 5th to the 11th of August, 1886, Mr. Vowell was 

 alone, and very few specimens were then observed which had not been, 

 noted in 1885. 



The various localities were examined in the following order : —
