At the mouth of the Killary, opposite Mweelrea, and a little south 

 of the Little Killary, there stands an isolated mass of gneissose moun- 

 tains, of which Eenchoona, 1975 feet, is the highest point. From it 

 to another summit, about half a mile to the north-west, the surface is 

 only slightly depressed and very rugged. There is a lake near this 

 second summit, at about 1800 feet, in which I gathered Isoetes lacus- 

 tris, with fronds 15 inches long. This detached clump of mountains 

 does not appear to have been previously visited by a botanist. I did 

 them on the afternoon of a morning spent upon Mweelrea; taking a 

 boat across the Killary, and exploring across the hills above Salrock. 

 I was informed that the maiden-hair fern had been gathered in this 

 ' neighbourhood in quantity by an Englishman. I met with it nowhere in 

 Galway. A few alpine species were noticed: Thalictrum alpinum, 

 Hieracium anglicum (var. iricum), Salix herhacea, and Lycopodium sela- 

 ginella ; Thalictrum minus and Sagina subuiata were also gathered. 

 The two Thalictrums are, it will be seen, confined to distinct zones ; 

 the latter being chiefly amongst loosely-constructed gneissose cliffs 

 looking north-east. This rock is frequently uncommonly dangerous 

 to climb. About Salrock I gathered Rubia peregrina, which I also 

 found opposite on the Mweelrea side. In small lakes east of Lough 

 Pee, Eriocaulon septangulare is abundant, along with the two watei- 

 liHes, at about 200 feet above sea level. Meocharis multicaulis is now 

 a characteristic plant, and much more abundant than in Mayo. Utri- 

 cularia intermedia was gathered here also, and (Enanthe crocata, rare in
