I. " They grow annually on the south point of Inch Island in 

 the Bay of Castlemain in considerable quantities " : Smith's Kerry 

 1736. " I found this on the sand-hills, Bay of Castlemain, in 

 August, 1-804 " : Maoh. Par. A specimen from this locality, 

 labelled in Mackay's handwriting : " Sand-hiUs, Bay of Castlemain, 

 1804," is preserved in the herbarium of AdmiralJones in the Science 

 and Art Museum, Dublin. Another specimen, labelled : " Sand- 

 hills, KillorgUn Bay, 1846," appears in a collection of plants of the, 

 district made by a coastguard named John Eeilly, and purchased 

 by Mr. R. M. Barrington {Jowrn. of Bot. 18'j'j, p. lyg). A third 

 specimen from Mr. Arthur Bennett's herbarium is labelled: " Fx 

 herhario Guglielmi Andrews. . . . Eosbegh, Kerry, July, 1841." 

 There appears, however, to be no specimen extant gathered later 

 than 1845, and careful search made along the northern shore of 

 Castlemain Bay by Mr. H. C. Hart in 1883 and along the southern 

 shore by E. W. S. in 1888 has failed to discover any trace of the 

 plant, which has, perhaps, become extinct through a change in the 

 form of the coast.
