Carex filiformis, a Lough Neagh plant, destroyed along with 

 several others by drainage operations half a century ago, and 

 which I had the good fortune to find last year in southern 

 Down ; and Calamaorostis epigeios, which had not been seen in 

 the district since Dr. Moore's original discovery of it over sixty 

 years ago. The first of these ranks as addition an to the flora of 

 district XII., since Stewart and Corry placed it in the "excluded" 

 list. It is also most satisfactory to have new stations recorded 

 for Elatine hexandra, Silene noctiflora, Dryas octopetala, 

 Cariim verticillatum, Carduus cristus, Carlina vulgaris, 

 Stachys Belonica, Tyfiha anguslifolia, Cladium jamaicense, 

 Carex teretiuscula, and C. aquatilis, plants which are numbered 

 among the rarest in the district, and some of which appeared 

 to be losing ground. The new county records tot up as 

 follows : — 



Down — Rubus oigoclados, Crithmum maritimum, Galium 

 erectum, Carex teretiuscula, C. filiformis. 



Antrim — Silene noctiflora, Dryas octopetala, Galium erectum. 

 Derry — Cochlearia anglica, Hypericum dubium, Lemna 

 gibba, Milium effusum, Glyceria plicata.

 derry, Mrs. Leebody, 1895.
