158 The h-'ish Nat2iialisi. J^"!-!. 



The material available for the reconstruction of the Irish 

 list is still scant}'. By far the most important published con- 

 tribution is the revised list of the National Herbarium 

 Fumitories, as 2:)ublished b}^ Miss Knowles. More than half 

 of the plants in this collection — 54 out of 93--are of my 

 own collecting, and it is chiefly on the revision of 

 these that the withdrawal or confirniation of records published 

 m " Irish Topographical Botany " is based. Next in order 

 come Fumitories collected by Messrs. Colgan, Scully, Phillips, 

 l^Iarshall, and others, submitted to Mr. Pugsley by the finders, 

 and most of them published subsequently in this Journal (see 

 ni}' annual "Additions to Irish Topographical Botany " for the 

 last four years). Finally, we have the unpublished material 

 arising from the response to my circular of last June. This 

 constiLutes a tolerably large series, embracing about a hundred 

 gatherings ; but the stations represented are not at all evenly 

 distributed over the country. Ulster claims over one-half of 

 the total, and the counties of Antrim and Down have between 

 them the bulk of the Ulster records. Altogether, only about 

 twenty out of the forty divisions are represented in the series. 



So man}' of the undermentioned records are based on 

 specimens in the National Herbarium, as published in this 

 Journal b}' Miss Knowles last year, that for the sake of brevity 

 I liave indicated these by the initials N.H.^ without repeating 

 dates or the names of finders. To other published records I 

 have added references. The initial P stands for my own name,
