lyETT. — Notes on some Hepatics of Ulster. 



175 



rocks about the Cave Hill, uear Belfast, fig. i. With the ascending shoots 

 and tridentate leaves, found in the Ness Glen, Co. Derry, June 20, 1809, 

 fig. 2. With the ascending shoots and quadrideutate and quiuquedentate 

 leaves found at Divis Mountain, near Belfast, March 26, 1813." The 

 drawings, though not marked "fig. i and fig. 2," are unmistakable, as 

 on each is named the locality where the specimen represented was 

 collected. However, Templetou's note is hazy. But /. lyoni, Tayl., is 

 still common on the rocks at the Cave Hill ; I have on several occasions 

 found it there. /. barhata is still wanted from Antrim and Down. 



Thus eight of the "errors and doubtfuls " of Templeton are 

 removed, and there remain yet to be rediscovered these five : — 



Clasmatocolea cuneifolia (Hook.). 



/tmgermania exsecta, Schmid. 



Harpa7ithus scutatus (Web. et Moshr.). 



Coleochila anomala (Hook.). 



lungermania barbata, Schreb. 

 It is to be hoped that the botanical members of the 

 Belfast Field Club will seek and find them. 



I have collected during the past few years some other 

 Hepatics that are rare or have been overlooked in Ulster, and 

 several of these are' very interesting, being new to the 

 Province. I also add below some new county records. 



Rlccla sorocarpay BishofF. — Londonderry, Magilligan, May, 1904, 

 Lett and Waddell. — In flat, wet meadow-ground near the middle of the 

 sand dunes; the locality is covered with water in the winter season. 

 The only other Irish locality that I know of is near Dingle, the same 

 where Moore and Lindberg collected it. 



Targfona hypophylla, L. — Templeton's record of this plant is — 

 "On the rocks of the Cave Hill, on the north side of the first cave, 

 Nov. 6, 1809." Local botanists often searched for this plant, but in vain, 

 till the 2istjune, 1902, when I rediscovered it. Moore found it "on 

 warm basaltic rocks at the Little Deer Park, Glenarm, Co. Antrim, 1834. 

 Very rare.'* It is worth mentioning that this locality is not in the 

 present park of the Barl of Antrim which surrounds his stately 

 residence, Glenarm Castle. The Little Deer Park lies to the south-east 

 of Glenarm town, between the cliffs and the sea, and is now traversed 

 by the coast road from Larne to Glenarm. Before this road was 

 engineered it was an ideal natural enclosure for deer, they being shut 

 in between the cliffs and the sea. 



Codonla ralfsll (Wils.).— Co. Londonderry, Magilligan, May, 1904, 

 Lett and Waddell. In damp hollows amongst the sand dunes. This is 

 an addition to the Ulster flora. The plants were in fruit, growing just 

 at the margin of the dwarf herbage, and the fronds being in great part 

 worn away nothing was visible on the sand except the little capsule, 

 like a cabbage seed, of a dark green colour.
