Rediscovery of Rubus Chamjemorus in Ireland (pp. 217, 246). 

 — Having been unfortunately unable to accompany Mr. Lloyd 

 Praeger when he asked me to do so a couple of weeks ago, to seek 

 for this missing Irish alpine, I was all the more willing to join my 

 old friend Mr. R. M. Barrington, who wrote to me to the same 

 effect at the beginning of August, and who has asked me to

started from Strabane on Wednesday, August 10th, strongly 

 impelled to the search by our accurate friend Mr. A. G. More, 

 who has always maintained that, although no specimen existed,

 as the Dart or Sperrin range ; and after a search of some hours, I 

 was fortunate enough to find the plant. Mr. Barrington had taken 

 another line, but, attracted by my shouts of triumph, he at length 

 rejoined me, and we rejoiced together at having rediscovered an 

 alpine species of much interest in its only Irish locality, where it 

 has been unsuccessfully sought for on various occasions since it 

 was first observed 66 years ago. Subsequently another small 

 patch of the plant was seen across the boundary line between 

 Tyrone and Derry, thus locating it for the first time in District 12 

 of the Cybele Hibmiica. Rubus Chamamonts occurs here sparingly, 



I would be inclined to say very sparingly. It appeared to us to be 

 very difficult to find, and that it would be the wisest course to pub-
