The Sea Pink occurs also on Ross Island, Killarney, the 
only low-level inland locality known in Ireland. It grows 
there abundantly with Silene maritima, from 65 to 80 feet 
above sea-level, as recorded by More in Rec. Add. 1872, 
and in 1912 was still abundant about the old mines harbour 
and in two or three other spots on this island. It is wortliy 
of note that Cerastiwm semidecandrum and C. tetrandrum, 
plants elsewhere in Kerry almost confined to the sea coast, 
occur also on the shores of the Lower Lake within two miles 
of these Ross Island localities, the four forming a most 
interesting little group of plants usually maritime in Ireland, 
there occurring inland at low level. 
[ARMERIA ALPINA Willd.—A plant gathered on Carrantuo- 
hill, Reeks, has been referred to A. alpina by Mr. F. W. 
Williams in his High Alpine Flora of Britain, 1908; there 
seems, however, to be much doubt as to whether this plant 
really occurs in the British Isles at all: wide H. Stuart
