been refouiid. The second edition of ' Cybele ' says it seems to 

 have been little more than a casual in this station, and * Irish 

 Top. Bot' refers the Cork, Kildare, and Antrim records for this 

 plant to casuals or errors. The likely explanation seems to 

 be that it was a case of mistaken identity, as the specimen in 

 the collection labelled '•' Carduus ?iutans, gravelly fields, Castle 

 Dillon, Strafian, June, 1864," is Cai'duus crispus. In going 

 through the collection before incorporating it, I made notes of 

 some plants that are new to Co. Kildare, and of new stations 

 for a few of the rarer species. These are given in the list 

 below, the new county records being printed in capitals. I 

 am much obliged to Mr. Praeger for giving me his opinion 

 about the specimen labelled Cajdtms nutans, and I would 

 like to thank Mr. A. Bennett for confirming my correction of 

 the names of some other plants in this collection.
