of these wall plants far in the heart of non-limestone districts, where 
population is sparse and mortar-built walls few and far between, furnishes 
an interesting problem in plant migration. It is unlikely that either of 
the ferns mentioned is native in Mayo anywhere west ofWestport, where 
the limestone ends.

Kilkenny Roses. 
In the course of a walk along the Nore valley from Bennett's Bridge 
to Kilkenny late in September last, I found, among other very interesting 
plants, the following Roses not yet recorded for the county : — Rosa 
spinosissivia R, rubiginosa L., R. sepitwi, Thuill., R. canina, var. lutetiana, 
and the hybrid R. rubiginosa X R. spinosissima = R. involuta^ (probably) var. 
Moorei Baker. 
Of these, the most interesting is, perhaps, R. sepiutn, a very distinct 
plant hitherto found only near the shores of Lough Corrib, Lough Derg 
and Lough Ree, where it is abundant. I met only one bush along the 
Nore valley. 
The hyhridi R.involutayXSiT. has previously been recorded from 
Derry only. The Rev. E. F. Linton has kindly confirmed the identity of 
m)' specimens.

Euphrasia Foulaensis in Ireland. 
Last August, by the kindness of Mr. Grierson, I obtained a supply 
of fresh specimens of the small Eyebright which I had gathered on the 
summit of Croaghaun, Achill Island, in July of the previous year. 
Mr. Townsend at the time considered this plant referable to E. Foulaensis, 
Townsend, but asked to see further material. As the result of an 
examination of fresh specimens, kindly undertaken in spite of illness, 
Mr. Townsend now writes that the Achill plant is E. Foulaensis^ differing 
slightly from the Shetland type, and matching the Faroe form, which 
according to Ostenfeld, is a frequent plant on those islands. The 
occurrence in the west of Ireland of this Eyebright, hitherto not 
found south of the extreme north of Scotland, is interesting. On 
Croaghaun its neighbours include the tiny Shetland var. procunibens 
Rostrup of Hypericum pulchrum, and Cochlearia grctnlccndica. Of thic little 
group of northern plants, the last alone is found elsewhere in Ireland, 
having several stations in RossguU, north Donegal.
