PLANTS FOUND IN KERRY, 1890, 
By Reemarp W, Soutxy, F,L,S. 
Tae cold and wet summer of last year was most unfavourable 
to botanists in Kerry, driving storms of wind and rain sweeping 
t s 
plant in ae: fh being the o only a additi n of interest; sled we were 
the Cyb. Hib. Fresh localities were, eran found fo r several 0 
gracilis. The Juncus, already noted in two localities (Journ. Bot 
1889, p. 335), was discovered growing beside shies road pa 
Kenmare and Glengariff, the well-known tourist route. It oc 
here in some plenty, both by the road-side and over a stony yrs 
cain used for storing road-metal, &c.; the locality is about 
s from Kenmare, and its elevation about 400 ft. This is

mile of this locality ‘that I had the good fortune to stumble upon 
two specimens of the rare slug, Geomalachus ulosus, hitherto 
only known from Caragh Lake, about twenty miles away; the 
occurred clo the road-side, which here attains an elevation 5

were crossed and intersected by a web of cow-tracks and ribo voit; 
and it was along these that the Juncus especially flourished, being 
indeed practically confined to them. Though this suggests a 
possible introduction with cattle-fodder, a narrow lane-way which 
runs through these pastures to the neighbouring ney was 
followed wihout a solitary plant being seen. Th 
dilection of this plant for tracks and road-sides ep not be) better 
exemplified than in this and its other Kerry localitie 
Before giving a list of new localities, I must ire refer to the 
River Laune Potamogetons mentioned in my Kerry Notes (Journ. 
Bot. 1890, p. 110). Two short visits were paid to this river last 
August; one to its exit from the Lower Lake, Killarney; the other —
