If we examine the above "present" and "absent" lists, we find that they 

 fully reflect the features of Clare Island, as compared with Turk and Bonn. 

 No less than 12 of the former are montane or alpine species, which owe 

 their presence to the " Big Hill," which has a much larger mountain-flora than 

 can be easily accounted for. No mountain species occurs in the " absent " list.
