The Irish JS/aiiiralist. 



February, 



Glengarriff, in August, 1898, and August, 1902. He obtained 

 the following species : — 



Species hitherto recorded for the Sub -Province Mj. 



Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa Macbr. — Killarney (N. Kerr}^) and Glengarriff 



(W. Cork). 

 Fuligo septica Gmelin. — Killarney. 

 Stemonitis fitsca Roth. — Killarney and Glengarrilf. 

 5. splendens, Rost. var. Webberi. — Killarne}^ 

 Cribraria aurantiaca Schrad. — Killarne3^ 

 Lycogola epidendrum Fries. — Killarney. 

 Trichia affinis De Bary, — Killarney. 

 Arcyria cinerea Pers. — Glengarriff, 

 A. denudata Sheldon. — Glengarriff. 

 A. incavnata Pers. — ^Glengarriff. 



The above are apparently all the recorded species for the 

 sub -province Mj, with the exception of that for Stemonitis 

 splendens from Glengarriff by Mr. W. L. W. Eyre. One 

 would have expected a much larger list, especially from the 

 neighbourhood of Killarney, as the woods in that district 

 ought to prove an ideal hunting ground. 



The Dingle promontor^^ contrasted with Killarney, is 

 markedly unfavourable, as there are very few woods, and 

 where these do occur they are small in extent and often but 

 recently planted. The places visited include the woods at 

 Burnham and The Grove near Dingle ; Fermoyle and 

 Kilcummin Woods, near Cloghane ; and the Finglass River 

 gorge, near Castlegregory Junction. Of these, much the 

 best was Kilcummin Wood, where there was a quantity of 

 undisturbed fallen timber and some native scrub, such as 

 Holly, etc. The list of species collected is as follows^ : —
