adding another Antrim station to the list, and one which consti- 

 tutes an important extension of range. 



The Sweet Flag, Acorus calamus, L., another introduced 

 plant, has now extended its range from Moira neighbourhood to 

 Belfast. Mr. Carrothers found it in August, in fair plenty, at the 

 second lock on the Lagan Canal, which is in County Antrim. 



Mr. Alexander Milligan noted two years ago a good colony 

 of the Musk Mallow, Malva moschata, L.. in an old quarry 

 near Bangor. 



Mr. John Adams, M.A., a former member of the Club, found 

 Helkborine lon°ifolia (Epipactis palustris, Crantz) in August, in a 

 wet meadow at Magilligan 'see Irish Naturalist, February, 19c 9). 

 This is a first record for County Derry, and the only one made 

 in the North-East for very many years. Another important 

 discovery made by the same botanist (see Journal of Botany, 

 January, 1909) is that the plant hitherto recorded from the 

 neighbourhood of Antrim town as Allium vineale, L., is not the 

 Crow Garlic, but the Field Garlic, Allium oleraceum, L. If this 

 is correct, and it appears to be so, then Antrim is the only known 

 station in Ireland for the latter species. 



Another Journal oj Botany record (October, 1907) was Orchis 

 pyramidalis, L., from Mountstewart, County Down. The note 

 was made by the finder, Mr. A. A. Dallman, an English botanist. 

 On 17th July last I searched the locality, particulars of which a 

 member of our Club, who was with Mr. Dallman, kindly gave me, 

 but could not find a single specimen. I may say, however, that 

 the habitat is a grassy slope, bordering on the carriage drive, and 

 that a lawn-mower had apparently been over it prior to my visit. 

 Mr. Dallman was in error in supposing that his record is the 

 second for the County. 



On 30th May I came across a fine colony of Habenaria 

 viridis, R. Br., in full flower, on the strip of sandy warren opposite 

 Downhill strand. Although not uncommon in County Derry, 

 this is the first record for the County from the sand-dune area.
