sible that these two species may in the future be found breed- 
ing in Man in small numbers, although Mr. Ralfe does not 
hint at such a thing. It is scarcely worth while to enumerate 
the ten or twelve other waders I had noted as being found in 
small numbers. Enough has been said to indicate the general 
character of the avifauna of Man. 
Finally, there is a long list of rare and occasional stragglers 
to both islands, which need not be considered at all here. 
Probably the Manx list would be extended if the same attention 
was paid to migration at the local lighthouses and light-ships 
as has been so conspicuously successful in Ireland under the 
guidance of Mr. Barrington.

BOTANY. 
Cardamine amara in Co. Derry. 
The occurrence of Cardamine amara in Co. Derry rests on the authority 
of the late Dr. David Moore, one station in Moyola Park, and another 
near Toome, being noted in Cybele Hibernica. As no recent botanists ap- 
pear to have recorded the plant from these localities, it may be of interest 
to note that I found it on the 28th May growing in a wooded marsh on 
the edge of Lough Neagh, immediately north of Ballyronan, between 
four and five miles south of Toome. There was just one good patch of 
it, about seven feet in diameter, and it was in full flower on the date 
mentioned. It was easily seen from the public road in passing.

Leucojum sestivum in Co. Antrim. 
It affords me pleasure to record the occurrence of Leucojum cpstwum in 
a boggy wood, on the margin of Lough Neagh, two miles or so south of 
Antrim town. I came across it there on vSaturday, 28th April.^ Being in 
full flower, the few plants there growing formed a very pretty sight, so 
unlike were they to the spongy marsh and tangled wood in which they 
grew. The existence of such a beautiful flower in such surroundings 
puzzled me ; and it was not until I afterwards traced its identity (kindly
