27, 28, 29, 30, 32, 33, 38. Mayo W., Sligo, Leitrim, Cavan, 

 MoNAGHAN, Fermanagh, Down. The flora of all these divisions has 

 been considerably added to, mainly through my own work. 



The following list shows the number of species (aggregates)^ 

 known to occur in each division in 1901, the additions made during 

 1901-1905, and the present total flora of each division. Prom this 

 we may see the advance made during the five years in our knowledge 

 of plant- distribution in Ireland, and the comparative richness, as at 

 present known, of the different parts of tlie country.

 graphical Botany." This gives a conservative estimate of the flora, the fruticose 

 Rubi, the hypnoid Saxifrages, and other groups of segregates ranking as one species 

 each group.
