in the latter part of July and the first week in Augus h

he geological formation is mainly A Aaa limestone, but 
the two small hills, Knock Brack and Knock Sentry, are of basaltic 
rock. The time of year was unfavourable for mosses, except those 
growing on bogs; the season, too, was unusually dry. 
he number of species and varieties met with amount to 107; 
and I am glad to acknowledge the kind help I have received iD

The only apenaiod list of mosses that I am aware of which 
deals with this county is a short one in the “ Report on the Botany 
of South Clare and the Shannon,” by Mr. §. A. Stewart (Proc. 
Roy. Irish Acad. 1890), which includes jointly species from the 
three counties of Clare, Limerick, and Kerry, and is therefore not 
available for comparison.
