of Queen’s College. Isaac Carroll did not limit his attention to 
the flowering plants alone. He was an excellent lichenologist, 
and published many lichenological papers, several of them in the 
earlier volumes of this Journal. In 1864 he accompanied Mr. 
Joseph Shackleton, of Lucan, and Dr. David Moore, to Lapland, 
for the express purpose of studying the alpine flora and collecting 
lichens in this desolate region: he also visited Iceland. Man

Irish botanists have to regret the loss of one of the most exact, 
truthful, and diligent members of their little band. We under- 
stand that r. A. G. More, to whom we are indebted for this 
notice, is preparing a fresh supplement for the ‘ Cybele Hibernica,’ 
and in this the name of Mr. Isaac Carroll will be often quoted. 
Other younger botanists, though too few in Ireland, are already 
pushing forward their explorations throughout the less known 
districts. Mr. S, A. Stewart, of Belfast, Mr. Richard Barrington, 
and Mr. H. C. Hart have done good work already, and we ho

improved edition of Moore and More’s ‘ Cybele Hibernica.’ 
We are glad to learn that Mr. J. E. Griffith, of Bangor, has in 
contemplation a complete Flora of Anglesea, in which the Cryp- 
togams will be included. We have noticed what may be considered 
his preliminary list at p. 28 of this Journal.
