ON THE FLORA OF INNISHOWEN, CO, DONEGAL. 25 
Lough Swilly ; while in the present year I examined the sional tits 
from Greencastle to Binnion, a little east of Dunaff, as well as 
botanising the mountain lakes and moors, exploring the higher 
mountains, and making a detailed examination of the estuaries, 
swamps, and reclaimed lands in the neighbourhood of Inch Island 
and Blanket Nook. A visit to Innishtrahull was unfortunately 
hindered by rough weather, but Dr. Dickie has given an estimate 
of the flora of that remote rs which proves it of no special 
interest. 
Several parts of Innishowen may, perhaps, require further 
examination, and for some, iiigAar syd those in the immediate 
neighbourhood of Derry, I am relying upon the observations of 
other botanists. Moreover, 11 ‘have seldom had opportunities of 
spring visits; thus my list is berliaals deficient in some of the 
earlier grasses, sedges, and orchids. But the labours of Drs. 
Dickie and Moore no doubt cover many of these a gaps, 
and my safeties 3 is, I believe, on the whole sufficient to give a 
good, if not an exhaustive, account of the plants. Fifteen, or at 
the most I should think twenty, species, unrecorded here, may

I shall be more explicit, since it i very rare Salant and has 
become extinct in several of its Irish localities. The record in the 
‘ Cybele Hibernica’ is ‘‘ at Nonvany Point, in the parish of Clon- 
mary, Donegal. Mr. Charles Moore.’”’ I was quite fam iia ar with 
it till my return this year that it oceurr ed to me that ‘
