we had an interesting trip to the rich department of Charente- 
Inférieure, W. France, besides other excursions nearer home. 
Murray did a good deal of work in the Alps and Dolomites ; 
and his expedition to Ireland in 1885 led to the discovery of Arabis 
ciliata Br. in Co. Clare. An extremely interesting paper in Journ. 
Bot. 1888, pp. 173-9, gives the chief results of a six-weeks tour 
in Portugal the year before, which added to its flora the very rare 
umbellifer Butinia bunioides Boiss., and a new species of bramble 
(Rubus lusitanicus) allied to R. villicaulis and R. macrophyllus ; 
both were from the Serra do Gerez. In Journ. Bot. 1889, p: 
141-3, will be found a valuable note on Sedum pruinatum Brot.
