76 BOTANICAL EXCURSIONS IN WEST DONEGAL. 
One inhabitant told me it took twenty men to get the big ‘‘ burlian” 
(heavy shingle) stones ont of their house, that came in with the 
sea and up a drain-pipe! On the east side of Doagh I sat down 
with one Toland—honest man—who saw me picking ‘ erribs,”’ 
and unsolicited brought me to where Crambe had beet in plenty we 
years before. Of this man’s evidence and description I had n 
doubt, so that the plant evidently appears occasionally. This cont 
is a — likely om and better sips from the sea than most. 
It is called Lagacurry. In a small marsh close to the beach the 
re tenuissimus of Poupabigaton pusilius was plentiful; it does not 
seem to have been noted in Ireland. Mr. Bennett named it for 
me. nm round Doagh, Senecio flosculosus, Blysmus, Lycopsts, 
CEnanthe Lachenalii, Ranunculus sceleratus, an nd Hippuris dae 
were the only plants of the least interest. Carex ovalis I saw, too; 
it seems to be of sporadic occurrence in Donegal. Doagh Island is 
about eight or ten miles round. It was probably a pra island 
within the historical period. 
Aug. 6.—I heard much of a waterfall at Glenhouse, near Clon- 
many, and a very set little sheer fall of about fifty feet it is. 
About it Lastrea emuia is plentiful, a very western fern, but never- 
gal. Digitalis is far 
most Se and holds the record for “clegs”’ (horse-flies) 
Instead of a hawkweed — this glen, there was only the 
impostor Cote soya Up this fall, across the moor, lies a 
round-topped hill, Raghtinmon, ope feet. There is no land in 
Treland higher than this to the north of it, but it is of uncom- 
promising quartzite, and utterly uninteresting. Hymenophyllum 
unilaterale lives close to its storm- ot summit. A very large 
valley and another lower top—Slievekeeragh, and thence down 
Effishmon. Here there were some interesting bluffs ssissol oralided 
a hawkweed, H. Schmidtii. Thence I followed a stream down to 
Clonmany, where Lastrea Oreopteris abounds. This fern is quite 
ai ay of the Inishowen él ens. Osmunda and beechfern 
wholly absent. The rarity of Osmunda in Inishowen 
is immoas remarkable. At this point Gi@iehinon n) I was on the slopes 
in Mountain, where several good alpines grow, which
