Additions to E. Mayo flora. — The following plants, which 
have been referred to above^ are additions to the flora of 
Division 26, East Mayo : — 
Taxiis baccata has, in fact, been previously found in East 
Mayo (see "Irish Top. Bot.") but only in a " probabl}^ intro- 
duced" station. 
Of the plants previously recorded from Eough Carra, those 
which we did not meet with were Rosa Sabini, Ge7itiana 
verna, and Lastrea Thelypteris. These were found about 
Moore Hall or Eake View, places to which we devoted only a 
few minutes. 
One of the most interesting features of the Eough Carra 
flora is its richness in Orchids. Out of the Irish list of 24 
species, 19 were found around the lake — namely, Neottia 
Nidus-avis, Listera coi'data and ovata, Spii^anthes auttivmalis, 
Epipactis latifolia and palzcstris, Orchis pyraviidalis^ Morio, 
masculay i7icar7iata, latifolia, and maculata, Ophrys apifera and 
vmscifera, HabcJiaria co?iopseai iiitacta, viridis, bi/olia, and 
chloroleuca. 
Recent gifts include a short-eared Owl from Mrs. J. B. BHis, a vSulpliiir- 
crested Cockatoo and a Mealy Amazon from Mrs. St. George, a Kingfisher 
from Mr. H. G. Cooke, a Herring Gull from Dr. J. Ivcntaignfe, an Amazon 
from Capt. J. R. Simpson, four Black-headed Gulls, two Call-ducks, four 
Redpolls, and a Bullfinch from Mr. W. W. Despard, a Ring-snake froni 
Mr. J. Marshall, and Badgers from Mr. J. C. Carter.
