for the first time a few years ago on a. wall at Prehen, near Derry 

 City. I had seen this fern at Garvagh the previous year. On 

 the last occasion, however, I was accompanied by Mr. R. Lloyd 

 Praeger and Mr. H. C. Marshall. We were on our way to 

 Errigal Glen to search for the seemingly vanished Fyrola 

 secunda. For this a most exhaustive scrutiny was made, but 

 without avail, though the other two' Fyrolas, media and minor, 

 were seen at several places on the south bank between the mill 

 and the bridge. As consolation prizes, however, Mr. Praeger 

 obtained, in the Glen, the Beech Fern, Polypodium phegopteris, 

 and I secured a fine specimen of the Moonwort, Botrychium 

 hinaria, about half a mile above Errigal Bridge. 



Passing to County Antrim, I may in the first place note 

 the re-finding of the Gromwell, Lithospermiim officinale, on the 

 chalk escarpment at Whitehead, not seen there apparently since 

 the publication of the Flora of Ulster. I also' obtained the 

 lesser Twayblade, Listera cordata on the wind-swept peaty sum- 

 mit of Agnew's Hill, recorded from the same locality by 

 Terapleton in 1804. Then, in the second place, a few new 

 lo-:;alities for some of our rarer plants may be recorded. 

 'Ranunculus trichophyllus I found in a mill pond near Temple- 

 patrick, and also in small streams and ditches in the boggy flat 

 between Ballyrobin and Tully, parish of Killead. Nymphaea 

 alba occurs in a pond near Dunadry railway station. The 

 Moneywort, Lysimachia nummularia is well established on the 

 railway embankment between Magheramorne and Glynn, close 

 to Larne Lough. The same plant was observed in comparative 

 abundance on the shore of Lough Neagh, south of Staffordstown 

 Station, between Cranfield and Rabbit Point. At the latter 

 locality I also noticed in their congenial habitat a good colony 

 of both the Arrowhead, Sagittaria sagiitifolia, and the Flower- 

 ing Rush, Butomus umbellatus, a considerable and out-of-the-way 

 extension in range for both plants. Fyrola minor was seen at 

 Crow Glen, but very sparse, owing to the destruction caused by 

 the feet of the cattle grazing on the wet boggy slope. The 

 Toothwort, Lathraea squamaria, was seen in three local locali- 

 ties, two of them, however, Glenalina and Carr's Glen, I sub-
