Hist. of Kerry, 1756, p. 376, No. 40. This plant does not 
appear to have been found in Kerry since Dr. Smith’s time, 
although often sought for in his rather precise locality. It 
is, however, likely enough to occur in the county, as it is 
not only found to be frequent by Mr. R. A. Phillips along 
the south-west coast of the adjoining county Cork, but is 
also on record both for Clare and Waterford. ]

No. 7, where the form with yellow berries is noted as growing 
‘on the mountains round Lough-Lane.” 
Even so comparatively recent as Dr. Smith’s time, 1756, 
the Holly appears to have been much more thickly dis- 
tributed in Kerry than it is at present. The smelting works, 
of which several were situated in the neighbourhood of 
Killarney, no doubt caused widespread destruction of this 
and other trees, and in more than one place in his History
