138 [Appendix B.N.F.C, 



Brown, Robert. We are indebted to Mr. James Britten for a transcript of 

 local notes contained in the two volumes of MS. in British Museum, 

 mentioned in his review of Flora .V. E. Ireland in Joum. Bot. 1888.

To several other observers we are indebted for occasional notes of plants 

 observed by them in new stations, and for specimens sent. 



Herbaria — 



Moore, David. The greater portion of the original and duplicate sets 

 representing the flora of Co. Antrim, and of the duplicate set represent- 

 ing the flora of Co. Derry, made by Dr. Moore in 1836 and 1837, when 

 in the Ordnance Survey service, are deposited in the Dublin Science 

 and Art Museum. The duplicate set is unfortunately not localized. 



Trinity College, Lublin. The British Herbarium, which includes the 

 northern collection of Rev. W. M. Hind, was looked into, but yielded 

 nothing of importance for our purpose. 



Glasnevin Botanic Garden. The British Herbarium contains some of Dr. 

 Moore's northern plants, but too little was found to induce a thorough 

 examination of the collection. 



Grainger, Rev. Canon. A small collection, made chiefly in Antrim, which 

 yielded a few notes. 

 The addition of our own MS. notes to this list completes the enumeration. 



The notes now brought together include a number of important additions to 

 the flora of the north-eastern province. In the lists of additions which follow, 

 the members of two critical genera— Rubus and Hieracium — figure largely. 

 While the value of the multitudinous "species" into which these genera are 

 now divided must not be over-estimated, it is none the less important that the 

 distribution of the various forms should be accurately worked out, and in this 

 respect our district is now behind no other in Ireland. Some interesting species 

 have been added, such as Carex pauciflora (a good addition to the Irish flora), 

 Polygonum maculatum and Sparganium neglectum, of which we are not aware of 

 any previous record from Ireland, Spiranthes Romanzoviana (in Europe known 

 only in two other Irish counties), Ranunculus circinatus, Drosera intermedia, 

 Saussurea alpina, Orchis pyramidalis, Carex aquatilis. The following lists show 

 the additions to the Phanerogams and higher Cryptogams of District 12 and to 

 each of the three counties that compose it, the Mosses and Hypatics being treated 

 separately on a subsequent page.
