occurrence in the county. The rough limestone rocks about 
the Killarney Lakes certainly offer a most suitable habitat 
for this calcicole species, very similar, indeed, to many of 
its Clare stations, where it is abundant; the limestone at 
Killarney, however, ceases on the north shore of the Muck- 
ross Lake, which is some distance from “the passage into 
the upper lake.” Whether this record should be included 
among Dr. Smith’s errors, or whether the plant really 
occurred in his Killarney station and has died out within 
the last 150 years, is now impossible to determine. The 
Dryas is at present unknown in Ireland south of Clare.]
