by Stelfox and others. On the north side of the hill 

 Hahenaria alhida grew abundantly, and by the Glenwherry 

 River were Pvrola media and Galium boreale. 



Of a peculiar rose which grew among the rocks here, 

 Col. Wolley-Dod writes : — " A peculiar form of spinosissima 

 X tomentosa, i.e., involutaSm. which I suspect must go under 

 f. Sabini Woods. Its pecuharity lies in the absence of 

 heterocanthy, though perhaps this occurred on other parts 

 of the bush. The very straight brown stems also recall 

 R. mollis as a possible parent. But I think its general 

 appearance prohibits its separation from your other 

 gathering." Col. Wolle3-Dod places the same name on a 

 rose collected by Stelfox at Skerry near Broughshane. 



, Agnew's Hill. 



Thence we went on to Agnew's Hill, and worked pretty 

 carefully the fine scarp of crumbling basalt, but failed to 

 get anything new. Pyrola secunda (found there by D. 

 Moore) was still elusive, and of Arctostaphylos Uva-ursi we 

 saw only the single plant discovered by Stelfox some years 

 ago. Epilobium angustifolium and Galium boreale were on 

 the cliffs ; and two unusual forms of Veronica officinalis, 

 one very large and subglabrous, the other pink-flowered, 

 were conspicuous. Templeton noted the subglabrous form 

 at Sallagh Braes more than a century ago. 



Lough Naroon Area. 



The fiattish area of elevated wet bog lying between 

 Dunloy and Rasharkin is not unhke a little Garron Plateau, 

 but of only about half the elevation (600-700 feet) ; like 

 the Garron area, it has yielded some plants very rare locally. 

 We spent a day here, but failed to refind Eriophorum 

 latifoli'um or Saxifraga Hirculus — found growing together 

 there by D. Moore, and the latter refound by S. A. Brenan 

 in 1884. Utricularia intermedia, which does not occur 

 elsewhere in the county, was seen in a number of spots ; 

 Vaccinium Oxycoccos and Carex limosa were in their usual 

 abundance. Low basaltic scarps facing west provide some
